I just moved my lager from my brand new mini-brew conical and as I was cleaning it i noticed a very small dot on the top of the conical that was not there before I used it. I tried to remove it but it just will not come off. When I touch it I feel a very slight tiny little gab and I keep...

I'm making a 5gl batch Cream Ale at 1.040 SG. I have an activator smack pack. Also the recipe calls for a single infusion at 150f for 60min and 170f for 10 mins. Can I skip the 170f for 10min and just do a normal sparge with 170F water?

Do I need to make a yeast starter with a smack pack or is it not necessary?

I am trying out a Pale Ale recipe and it calls for 2oz of cascade flower hops and 1oz Amarillo flower hops but my LHBS has the cascade flower but not the Amarillo only the Pellets. Can i mixed them?
