I looked up yeast cake re-use and it seems that washing it is the preferred method. Could I pour new wort in the fermentor immediately after the current batch will be out? The only difference in the wort will be the hop content.

Thank you. I will definitely not to that. :D Thank you. This was actually a partial recipe; all I'm using from Mr. Beer is the fermentor, but I won't complain about an IPA. I actually love Cascade hops so I'm sure I will like it. What I'm mostly disappointed about is that I wanted to...

Hi all. Please allow me to introduce myself: I'm an idiot. Now that the formalities are out of the way, I'll share my situation. I split the ingredients for a 5-gallon APA batch in half as I'm fermenting in a Mr. Beer container, but I threw in the whole amount of hops and yeast. Now, I...

I'm on page 94 of this thread and thanks again to all who contributed. My dilemma is that I can only bottle on day 14 or day 21. From what I have read so far, 21 days is preferred (7 primary + 14 secondary), but I don't have a secondary fermentor. Temperature where the fermentor is located...

Thank you for the advice. I'm on page 75 of this thread now. The more I read, the less worried I am about how it will turn out. :D

First off, thank you to all who contributed to this thread. As the common trend seems to be, I got a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas and pitched the yeast on the 26th. Reading this thread, I found that many people suggest not having the lid screwed too tight to prevent explosion so I loosened up...
