yeast after settling

Post by nickbbb »

So I always let my wash settle in carboy after it is done fermenting, my question is - can I add the yeast back to the next batch after it settles out and I make a run? Thanks

Check out Uncle Jesse's Simple Sour Mash in tried n true. It discusses doing just that.
No, officer, I wasn't distilling alcohol! It was probably that guy!
