Ok, there was a discussion on this a while back, but that discussion and everything else I find is saying that if you pitch new wort on top of a yeast cake, you should start with a light / lower OG beer and then work "up" from there.
My question is this: If I plan to brew the same exact beer, can I rack brew #1 as I'm cooling the wort from brew #2 and then pitch this same exact beer on top of the previous yeast cake? Or should I take the time to wash the yeast and make a new starter and do everything "clean"?
