I have a house pale ale that is a little hoopy in primary coming up on 2weeks. I wanted to know if I could simply snag about a quart of the yeast cake (Nottingham) and use this to make a quick start (just dump it into 2ltrs of weak wort) and give is a hech of a good shake (1 gallon jug). I am thinking this will rouse the yeast and get some growth after about 48hrs. I am not concerned about the hops from the pale ale as I am making an IPA with some of the same hops.
Any idea/comments?? I have read of others simply dumping pn the yeast cake, but I use my brew pale to help measure the runnoff from the mashtun and therefore need the pale (and obviously another one).
Thanks
