Nah, still have a bunch of them. Read about the technique in a book somewhere. It seemed to help them carb better than just hanging out untouched. As for patience, I gave up on ales for the complexity of lagers. :)

I never got any oxidation in my bottle conditioned brews, and I shook them gently every day for the first week. I figure with the reactivation of the yeast, it scrubs any oxygen left...as it would with the initial fermentation. Same goes for my krausened corny kegs, where I'm adding high...

I just harvested/washed a lager cake that had 3 different batches on it. The last 2 have been among the cleanest brews I have done. The fermentation was fast with no signs of stress or byproducts whatsoever. Of course, I believe it's difficult to 'over pitch' with lagers anyway... I have not...

Plan for a small beer off the second runnings. ;) I made a nice 3% session bitter off the second running of a barleywine a few weeks ago. Had some extra Goldings kicking around, and a little extra 1056 yeast.

Last weekend I did my first yeast cake re-use and it had awesome results. I had done starters before, but nothing like this. I chilled my Czech dark lager wort and placed it on top of a Czech Pils cake I had racked off of an hour and a half before. It was about 50 degrees outside and I never...
