So I've just done my first bulk order of hops from Nikobrew. My plan is to first brew the great Zombie Dust clone by skeezerpleezer, then pouring Yooper's DFH60 on top of the yeast cake (I plan on using WLP002 as a sub for Wyeast 1968 -- but both second brews use Pacman and I willl use this if the LHBS has it). My reasoning for this is the Zombie Dust clone has a slighty lower OG than the DFH clone. On top of all of this no doubt foolish cheapness, I have the ingredients to do Yooper's Rogue Dead Guy clone as well. I thought I would be super cheap and re-use the yeast cake a third time. The biggest problems I see is that the Dead Guy will be overpitched a good bit and I should have a fair amount of dead yeast by this point.
Is the whole endeavor a stupid cheap move to try to save a couple of bucks or do you think I can make some generally pretty good brews with this strategy?
