Please clarify: is the yeast cake for the primary or secondary?

 comment What's the best method to catch a strain of wild yeast for homebrewing?
It doesn't seem to me that you'd get "colonies from individual cells" from your method without the use of a microscope or an acid wash. Can you help me understand why I couldn't just use yeast from the fermenting fruit peels

 comment Why is our Original Gravity low?
are you measuring your gravity at 60 degrees or adjusting the gravity if the temperature is higher? And is the volume at 5 gal? (or higher or lower?)

 comment IPA recipe left very sweet, little bitterness or aroma
Oh, and boil vigor. A full boil will extract more from the hops, a lower boil, less so.

How many gallons did you boil? A concentrated, smaller boil volume will reduce hop utilization. A fuller 5.5 to 6.5 gallon boil (assuming a 5 gal batch) will give better utilization. I'm not sure if it's the same with hop flavor or not, but def is with bitterness.

Me too. And I already have it on hand for laundry - unscented is best.
