I've got a fermenter full of an IIPA and I'd like to wash and resuse the yeast (WLP001) for a porter I want to brew this weekend. I've never used washed yeast so soon after washing (normally it'll sit in mason jars for 3-4 weeks before making a starter with it and reusing). Considering that I'm going to use it probably within 24 hours of washing, do you think I still need a starter? I'm sure I have plenty of yeast, but I'm not sure if I should still make a starter to "wake them up"...although, they will only have been "sleeping" for less than 24 hours.
Thoughts? Or other strategies I could use to reuse? I certainly don't want to rack the porter onto a very hoppy IIPA. Agreed?
