Hi: 

I am just about to bottle my first cider.  Does anyone know if it 
is OK to re-pitch the yeast sediment at the bottom of the secondary 
into another batch? 

The yeast I used was a Vierka wine yeast.  I let it ferment 
for a week before I racked it to the secondary where it has been sitting 
for about ten weeks or so.  It is now clear, though not quite 
crystal. 

I will post the recipe if it turns out well. 

Thanks in advance. 

Paul Anderson.
