Great advice from all thank you. Revvy thanx for being patient with us amateurs lol. I am going to go learn how to make a starter. Always used dry yeast and it worked out for me. Just started using liquid yeast. Again thanx to all.

Hmmm....never made a starter or replicate cells.

Bought a vial of white labs ale yeast six days ago. I just realized that I left this vial sit on my kitchen table along with my hops for six days. Is the yeast still good or does it absolutely need to be in the fridge? Also will the hops stay that long or did I ruin those as well?

I am not a big wheat fan either but my wife loves them and absolutely hates IPAs. Thanks for the advice.

Funny you mention wheat beer. I have a wizenbier that seems ready for bottling. Should wheats be left to ferment longer or less?

Started brewing about a year ago. I have about ten extract with specialty grain brews under my belt. All of these brews were done fermenting in about 7 days with consistent FG readings. All of my brews turned out great. I keep reading about other brewers leaving their beer in the fermenter...

I would have to agree. Learning from mistakes is much more valuable than learning from a perfect brew. Close to perfection can give you pride but not much else except theory.
