    using slurry to repitch

    So this is the first time I will be reusing my yeast. I'm doing a 10 gallon batch of a Belgium IPA with wlp550, the OG is 1.080. I want to do a second batch of the same. Now can I rack into keg then dump second cooled batch right on the slurry into primary? Or should I wash the yeast then...

    Gray Soot in post boil wort

    So I check the carboy today and it is looking much better. The gray color went away or the "cold break"?? that got in the carboy has dropped. I ran oxy and rinsed with water on my whole system just to be safe. Going to pull a sample this weekend, will let you know how it is.

    Gray Soot in post boil wort

    Gray Soot in post boil wort
