I did a pale that used a ton of hops, and then a ton of dry hopping.
It wasn't a high gravity brew, and is somewhere between 5-6% ABV.
Because the alcohol content isn't massive, I was thinking of washing the yeast for next time, but since there's an abnormally high quantity of hop matter, does that present any problem?
In other words, as long as one doesn't make a beer that's at the very limits of what the yeast can manage, and doesn't rest a very high ABV beer on the yeast cake for an extended period, is there any reason (apart from off flavors in that beer) not to salvage yeast from a secondary?
