I'll leave a bit of "old brew" in the jar for the next batch. How

I remember reading a few posts about seeding, but it seems that it
didn't make a difference for some, so I wonder what it all depends on.
It might depend on how much of the previous batch you leave behind to
seed the next batch. I believe someone posted a long time ago a
formula for this, might have been Terry Chamberlin? I think it was
that leaving 1/4 of the previous batch will reduce brewing time by
2/3 or similar, I can't remember it exactly, but since I first read
it I have always left approx 1/4 of the previous batch. At first it
may seem like this "wastes" CS you could be using, but for me it
speeds up the brewing time so much it is worth it. It may be
pertinent that I need to start with distilled water that is very
pure. So if I didn't seed a batch at all, it will take a very long
time indeed.
