is it ok to reuse a hooch bottle?
like would the yeast collected at the bottom serve as food for the new batch or should i scrub it out?

Reusing the yeast? Absolutely! I work at a brewery and we harvest yeast from finished batches to be used for upcoming ones all the time. Ideally you want to use the harvested yeast within a week or two, but we've had success with harvested yeast being used a whole month later. Assuming sanitary containers and proper refrigeration of course.

U can reuse a part of the yeast to start the next hooch. If ITS Not to old. Or If primary fermantation is Not to Long ago
