I know that the slurry is supposed to be in fridge, but I don't have one, and the slurry has been sitting at room temp. Is it possible to wash and reuse the yeast after it's been sitting in the carboys for a week at room temp?
Thanks!!

Eh... you're probably OK if you stuck the airlock back on after racking the beer out, but, what's a new packet or vial of yeast, three bucks, maybe five? I wouldn't risk my $40-$60 batch of beer an a brew day's worth of effort.
Next time, pour the slurry off into a sanitized jar right after you rack the beer off; if you don't have room in your fridge for a quart mason jar, drink a beer or two and try again.
It'll only be my 4th batch of AG and the first two were almost undrinkable.
Whoa, backup cowboy, let's talk about this for a second.
What do you mean they were "undrinkable?" Were they under/overcarbed? Did they have a hot alcohol taste, like nail polish remover? Were they sour? Did they have a strong banana flavour, or cooked corn? Wet cardboard? If you provide some more details, we can help you diagnose the problem.
Recipes? Process? Temperatures? The more detail you provide, the more specific advice we can provide.
That'd be awesome! I'll fill in the details tmr.
