I poured my juice and some invert cage sugar right into the lees in the primary and about 12 hours on i can see bubbles so it looks like it started! Pretty cool if it takes this will be the first alcohol I have made without directly tesring a yeast packet.
i wonder how many times i can do this before the primary needs to be sanitized.

You should be able to just poor a bit out, clean your equipment and put it back in and keep going

oh that’s pretty neat! This is going to cut my cost per gallon by a decent chunk that Côte des Blancs champagne yeast is not cheap but i’m also lazy so bought more instead of washing. Being able to stretch it even a few batches is cool. I checked it again just now and it’s going strong, too!
