so a common rule with reusing yeast from a cake for a subsequent batch is that you wouldn't want to reuse yeast from a high gravity beer. you'd probably want to do that beer second with a low or moderate gravity beer first. I think that one makes pretty good sense from a yeast health perspective.
but are there any other general rules that you guys follow? like do you avoid making a really hoppy beer before the not so hoppy beer? would you avoid pitching yeast from a stout/porter into a American wheat beer or maybe a lighter color APA/AIPA? or is the transfer of hops or roast flavor minimal from one batch to the next so it doesn't really matter?
