for fathers day my father and i went to a family friends house to brew (i need to set this up as i have not been able to check on the beer, so dont tell me "use your hydrometer, duh!"). from what our friend has been telling us, there is no krausen, no airlock activity, no nothin. now, its hard to diagnose the problem without being able to see it, but i want to know if anybody has had problems using washed yeast before. i have had no problems to date, but the yeast were closer to being fresh then. i used 2 jars of 1084 that i had washed probably last summer or so. they have stayed in the refrigerator since then. do yeast die of old age? if i pitch some new yeast will it kick start fermentation or would i have to worry about autolysis? por favor ayudame borrachos
