I tried my hand at yeast washing for the first time on my last batch. It came out all right. My one issue was that my last batch was an IPA. I was dry hopping so there was a lot of hop debris in the yeast. I did a good job surprisingly removing most of the hop debris but the yeast cake was a bit green. My question is will this small amount of hop debris effect my next batch of beer if i were to use the yeast again?
 
yeast do not like hops, doesn't mean your case is bad but studies have been make in the past yeast perform less and less with more hops mixed in, I would just make sure you have a good starter with your washed yeast before pitching your next batch
