I planned on brewing a New England ipa, so I went to the Lhbs for ingredients. they were out of giga yeast Vermont I had planned to use. But what I did find was a little can of imperial yeast A38 juice. Their website says perfect for east coast ipa. I figured sounds perfect. Now has anyone used...

I have a batch of beer fermenting in a corny and plan to transfer to a secondary keg on a Thursday, then use the yeast cake for a brew on Saturday. If I leave the cake sealed in the keg for a couple days will it be useable? I will be be transferring the beer with a sealed transfer keg to keg.

If I use one of my kegs to do my primary, when I transfer to secondary can I just push all the yeast and trub out into a bucket until the beer runs clear. Then attach to the out on the receiving keg? Or do I have to shorten the dip tube?

If you were to wash dry yeast after primary. Could you make a starter from it before repitching? I know you aren't supposed to make a starter when pitching dry, so Im unsure about after washing. Cheers

I've always done primary in a bucket, so I've never watched the yeast do their thing, but on my last brew day I used my carboy. After day 2 this is how it looked Then on the morning of day 4 this is what it looks like??? Is this normal?

I am doing a 1 gallon test batch of beer and have never bottle primed before. Always keg my beer. I was wondering how much cane sugar I should put in a 1 litre bottle? And should I just put the granulated sugar in or mix with boiled water?
