So I did a direct pitch on an ale with a vial of WLP001 today. I thought I had shaken the yeast into suspension pretty good but when I dumped it in it came out in kind of a slug. Should I try to shake up the carboy or am I OK to just let it go. LOL this hasn’t ever happened to me before… 
sure, that’s what they all say! ;D
it’ll be fine. the yeast know what to do.
Well… there was the one time at band camp. But that was the ONLY time!
Don’t sweat it. No really keep it nice and cool. The fermenter, I mean!
Best of luck, Brewer.
BTW, there are no dumb questions on this site. Thanks for posting and brew on, swlusk!
+1. Unlike other forums, we don’t try to make somebody feel dumb. We all started somewhere.
Agreed. Its also ok to give answers as you learn. In fact, sharing is a great way to really learn it.
And Jim answers promptly from the middle of the night due to a reverse hour/time zone/lupulin shift situation! So he may give you an answer before the rest of us wake up, so you can correct a slight mistake in the middle of the night!
So true. I swear each of the first 8 posts I read everyday are Jim’s.
Not for long. Day shift coming.
Good for you. I just got moved down by 2 hours. After work brew days are making a come back.
As usual most all advice on this here forum is on the money. Not only did my Cal-ale yeast do OK but it had about a 12 hour lag time. I have a feeling that my first experience with WLP001 will become a long standing obsession.
