Out of curiousity and also as a learning experiment. I've decided to immediately pitch another batch onto the yeast currently in my primary fermentor on the same day that I bottled that batch. I decided to do this for a couple reasons:
1 - It would be an easier way to get another batch going without having to go through all the sanitation business again.
2 - I'm just plain curious about how it will turn out resuing the yeast. It could be an interesting way to save some cash on future brews, especially for ones that really need a specific liquid yeast and that I really like and want alot of.
3 - I want to get alot of beer stocked up so I don't have to buy any beer for a while and can always have plenty to dish out to anyone who wants one (or many) without running out.
I decided to just find a cheap kit brew to make and went with the another basic brown ale similar to my first brew because it doesn't rely on a specific yeast to taste good, can cover up any real flaws that could come from my experimenting with reusing yeast, and my girlfriend and I both like to drink brown ale alot, simple and tasty.
Thats it for now.
