The yeast you have in the bottom of your first fermentation is about the best quality you can have. You have so much more active yeast cells than even a best starter can give you. You can just pour your beer into its secondary fermenter, and dump the new (cooled!) beer on top of the yeast, and off it goes. You may even want to take some of that yeast away, and store it for the next round. There are two risks to consider when reusing yeast: 1) If your beer is infected, you will spread the infection to the next batch. 2) If you keep using the yeast from one batch to start a new one, it will slowly mutate. At some point your yeast is no longer the same as what you started with. Occasionally you end up developing a good one, but more often the quality drops. None of these should stop you from reusing your yeast a few times. -H -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst"
