I searched around but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for....
I'm brewing a NEIPA tomorrow using 4oz hops for DH (4oz in WP too) and Cosmic Punch. Also adding some Phantasm... My plan is to brew again using the same grain bill and hop schedule (using different hops) on the day I'm planning to keg batch #1, and just racking batch #2 on top of B#1 yeast cake.
I've yet to do this so I guess I'm looking for some insight on how that will work... will the old hops affect the new batch? This would a massive overpitch... any issues with that? Am I overlooking something?
I can't dump the yeast, I use a Spike Flex+. My wort chiller won't get it below 80F usually, but the yeast cake will be at ~40F... how will that affect things?
My glycol chiller can bring that down pretty fast though....
Thanks for your input!
