I think by "safe" meaning contaminated by things other than yeast. You could use ~half cup of a previous batch to start the next as long as you keep the yeast healthy, this is how sourdough is made. I would be slightly concerned with consistent results though. The yeast is so cheap to buy, but give it a try if you are interested.

I was just doing to calculations on my Tree Top batch to see what kind of ABV it will yield. According to other internets, the 312g sugar / 2.88 liters = 108.3 brix (?), and ~18 to 20 brix is 1% ABV so in total about 6%.

Now, the Redstar Premier Cuvee yeast I bought are tolerant up to 18% ABV. I'm pretty sure 18% hobo cider would taste like burning asshole but 6% seems low to me so I'm going to toss in an extra cup of sugar (+200g) which should push it to just under 10%.
