I have been brewing beer for a while and I like to reuse my yeast cake by pouring the wort directly on to it after racking out of my secondary. Just did my first kit (Winery Series Super Tuscan) the guy at my LHBS said I could do the same with wine, so I racked the wine out of my primary into the secondary. There really wasn't much of a yeast cake, just a small amount of residue and some leftover wine. I made the kit as per instructions and simply didn't add the pack of yeast in the kit (A Barolo). Should there have been a bigger amount of residue in the bottom of the primary or am I ok? I know people do this with skeeter pee, so I'm hoping it works out, if not, I will pitch the pack of Yeast from the starter kit. It was Wyeast Chianti, thats why I wanted to reuse and not buy another package as it cost more Moolah.
