I pull off the top layer of corn which has usually turned kinda white, amounts to about 2 cups usually. Replace with same amount fresh. You should already have a yeast bed in the bottom. They're still alive, assuming you leave a little bit of liquid in the bottom and don't add your water when it's to hot and kill them, they're just waiting patiently for more sugar. Shouldn't have to add any.
