DONT DUMP IT! Run to your LHBS and get yourself another slap pack of the same yeast. Slap it, and make a starter by boiling about 1000ml of water with a cup of DME for about 5 mins to sanitize. Cool the starter to about 70 to 75 and pitch the yeast and let it sit for about 24 to 48 hrs to get...

I am brewing a big IPA that I wanted a little more malt than I normally brew to stand up to the hops. I hit a OG of 1.085 and I mashed at 158. Fermentation took off right away with WLP001 (0.5 gallon starter) and chugged on nicely for a week at 63 degrees. After this, it hit a wall at 1.030...

I use lalvin EC-1118 for my apfelwein, I think it is cleaner than Montrachet and lets the apple come forward sooner... so I can drink them down faster with less conditioning :)

I have an american pale ale about to finish up on WLP001, and about to go into secondary. My next beer is my first stab at a high gravity beer (an IPA, I am shooting for a OG of 1.080). Can I dump this new wort right on the yeast cake from the pale ale right after I rack it to secondary?

Orange does sound interesting, think I might shoot for that. Thanks!

I want to make a mid body, high gravity IPA with strawberries at about 60 IBU. Has anyone done any brew like this and how did it turn out? Does IPA and fruit mix well. Thanks for your help.
