I have a wyeast 2035 cake thats sitting under a batch of light lager for a few weeks now, i want to bottle and then pitch a new batch. Can i pitch a honey blonde or other ale on it? the coolest i can ferment is 14. C, I would use another KIT of all grain WORT

i have a yeast cake sitting on the bottom of a secondary since 1 month ago, its in a cool temp and is a 2007wyeast , this yeast cake also fermented a batch prior to this light lager, can i reuse after a secondary for a new batch?

I bottled my American premium lager after a 14day ferment at 60, and a 30 day secondary at 40-45, now I bottled it in old corona bottles , i had one 8 days after being bottled at room temp and it tastes great with a great carb again only 8 days, am i at risk for over carb and all the bad things...

if im tring to ferment at the lowest possible temp as per package, wyeast 2112 it it possible to go dormant 2 or 3 degrees f below recommended? and will there be any problems with just moving to a warmer spot after.

well its over 72 hours almost 4 days, still nothing, im thinking of using another fresh smack pack, will it taste off using another or can i even use a different strain? whats the max time i should wait?

Let my pack wyeast 2112 sit in the fridge very cold near freezing for a few months unsmacked, 30hrs ago i smacked/shook it let it sit in room temp for 5 hours and no swell. Is it recked? did i kill it or is it just to old (10 months) I pitched it anyway, i will wait 72hrs than if no fermentation...

no, you're right full Ferment at 10 c , and we are dealing with a conditioning issue, i thought flavour may be affected without long lager.

I recently fermented an all grain (KIT) "light american lager." with a wyeast 2007. fermented @ the recommended 10 C , for 3 weeks , 1.048 OG to 1.012 fg. Unexpected temps leave me without a lagering place. So what should i do either. 1.) secondary in now 10 -15 degree c temp 2) secondary at...

is it true that the fermenting wort raises the temp in the bucket, if true... what temps will this start? how high would it raise? do you account the heat produced toward your reccommended ambient ferment temp for the yeast? for example if i ferment a wyeast 2112 which needs 8-17 D C. would...
