Repitching Yeast After a Big Beer

[Oktober]

I am still interested in finding out how your "stressed" yeast ( ) pilsner comes out. Please post back with results....

Well the Pilsner is out of the carboy and lagering in a corney at the moment. While the beer is still a little young, it is is surprisingly clean and I'm pleased where it is. I also shared it with a few members of my local homebrew club to get a second opinion, and got the thumbs up from them too. So I'll likely use the remaining yeast (not from the Pils yeast cake, but unused yeast I've been growing on a stir plate) for the next lager brew.

Thanks for all the input!

Glad to hear it worked out for you. Although it probably wasn't the best case scenario it seemed to have worked out for you! I wouldn't go making a habit out of this but it sounds like you had some hearty yeast there!
