Several is 5-7, I guess
But do you really get autolysis in a 5-6 gallon batch? That wasn't addressed in this thread.
Not unless you leave the beer on the yeast a couple months or more.
as a relatively new brewer i have never repitched yeast- for me its just another variable that could go wrong so use fresh. however i am brewing a pale ale tomorrow and have no yeast. i do have another pale ale that i am about to rack so can re-use that yeast.
as this will be the first time i think its safer for me to just rack on the full yeast cake- the reason being i feel the bigger danger is me playing around with the yeast cake and making mistakes- causing an infection or something.
i guess i am looking for someone to say- yes go ahead- best bet for someone unsure in what they are doing!
