I have some WYeast 3522 and I want to use it for a fruit recipe. I was thinking at some raspberry or whatever else, but I don't know any recipe. So If you have any ideas I would be glad to know it. Thanks!

If I'll fine my beer for 4 weeks or more, I'll still be able to wash my yeast as before?

Well my friend.. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.. is something I may probably not taste ever.. I'm not an american. I'm from Romania.. far away. I really don't know how much sedimend has in it. Thank you guys for the answers. You were really helpful to me.

I am new in homebrewing and for now I brew from kits. At my first batch my plastic faucet was leaking. So my question is: can I replace the plastic faucet with a metal one? and what are the metals that don't affect the beer?
