Extra ingredients??

[spazzy]

Hey everyone, I have a batch of Brandon O's Graff in primary right now. Due to an ordering mess up I have some extra ingredients. I am thinking about doing a gallon batch to learn/practice some techniques and since its a gallon batch and if I screw up, no biggie. I want to try washing yeast to use for my fermentation (from the Graff in my primary) and try cold crashing at the end of fermentation.

My ingredients are:

1 lb light DME
~3/4lb 80L Crystal
~.65oz Saaz hops

I was thinking:

1 lb DME
1oz 80L Crystal
1/2 my hops at 30 mins
1/4 my hops at 15 mins
1/4 my hops at 5 mins

don't repitch dry yeast. Especially since you can buy more for $3.

He's experimenting. I say go for it and see what happens.

You could run the recipe through Beer Calculus at Hopville.com to see what to expect.

Mainly i just want to experiment with washing the yeast cake from my Graff, usually i just buy new yeast but Id like to start saving money by washing and keeping several strains in the fridge.

Thanks, i'll try running the recipe, ive never used that site before
