Reusing cider yeast

[jaquiss2005]

Helped out with some apple picking at local orchard today and came away with 2 boxes of apples. Don't have any dried yeast left at moment, but have 2 demijohns full of cider which have finished fermenting. If I syphon off the cider, will the trub left in the bottom of the demijohn work, or do I hang on a couple of days until I can get hold of some more yeast. Apples are half Cox, and half Bramleys - from fully organic orchard.

I was thinking this the other day. I would think so unless it was high ABV like beer but hopefully someone more knowledgable can answer.

I'd thought about doing this too. I would give it a go. Make a starter with a small amount of the trub from the last batch and see if it seems to be fermenting before adding to your new juice.
