I racked a low gravity brown ale off Safale S-04 yeast cake in my 6 gallon glass fermenter on Monday night this week. I am planning on brewing a 1.092 OG Imperial Stout on this coming Sunday, and I would like to just dump the fresh wort onto the yeast cake I've got.
I racked MOST of the beer of the cake, and I was careful about sanitization, and I've replugged the carboy with the original bung.
I'm wondering if it is OK to go for it sitting in my 68*F basement, or if I should toss it? The cake is thoroughly damp, but it hasn't been covered in liquid and it hasn't been kept cold. Smells fine, well good really.
I don't have yeast starter eqpt, so I didn't bother washing and making a starter etc.
Thanks,
Nick
