As a fairly new brewer, I've only once reused yeast. It worked out successfully and I want to do more of it to save money (and because I think it's fun). But the one and only time I've done it, I reused a saison yeast (Lallemand Belle Saison) and didn't give any thought to the first batch affecting the flavor of the second because both batches were saisons. But this time, I want to reuse the yeast that is currently working an oatmeal stout to brew an English bitter. So my question is....Does yeast pick up any of the flavors from the malt and hops from one batch that would affect the next?
