Just what it means, washing the yeast to remove hops and trub from it.

I take it you didn't go looking for the sticky as I suggested.

SO4 rocks! I actually have a hard time shifting the cake, it's so well in there.

On my last wheat stout , it kinda had the texture of like skinned over pudding yogurt or something. Its supposed to be medium attenuation, but its been great on all my beers. No esters what so ever either.
