I'll be bottling up my Sierra Nevada pale ale clone tonight that I had dry hopped with 1 oz of Cascade hop pellets.
Would the dry hopping and hop residue have any ill effect on reusing this yeast? I checked out the post on Yeast Washing, and I'm sure that I can handle that. I wasn't sure if the washing procedure would help remove the spent hops.
And if I do salvage this yeast would it be recommended to brew the same type of beer over it next time?
And very last question (a gardening one this time). If this yeast isn't salvageable is that something that can be added to a compost pile? I usually just throw my brewing grains/hops and garden waste in there. Never thought about using the yeast.
