just a heads up i have been pulling most the beer off the starters so just the cake plus a little beer are left before crashing in sealed jugs.

would i be right in thinking i could just pitch new wort on the cake to create another starter or just use the slurry for another batch ?

the original starter i did was because i was shipped an expired pack of munich yeast ....... that and i wanted a comparison to dry and liquid yeast wp300. so i did 2 starters for 2 simaler batches trying to get the banana esters. no banana atm lots of sulfer so far ....
 
Sure, you can pitch onto the old cake, or harvest the slurry and pitch that. I do that fairly frequently, works great. Generally you want to stay below 8 generations or so to avoid drift of the culture.
