Update: Brewed on 11/5/2011 and it has been kegged for a little over a month. Fantastic beer, very well received. EvilTOJ- others have asked for the recipe, so I pointed them to this thread. Well done.
I can't comment on clone accuracy because I don't have any actual AB on hand. I'm not willing to buy some, either, because this is just too good. Kyle

My third batch was with s04... bad idea! Has made it fruity and killed the bitter kick other batches had.

Think I'll stick to a neutral yeast next time.

Just got the grain bill for this today, and brewin it up tomorrow!!!! I saw that some used 2 packs of Notty. I only have 1 on hand. will this be ok, or should I get a little starter going just to bump it up a bit? I have some malta goya that I keep for emergencies like this. I also have some washed 2112, and german Kolsch 029, but I don't think those would be a good choice for this beer.
Any thoughts?

You use Malta goya for starters?

Not unless I have to in a pinch. There have been a couple of times I "thought" I had some DME left only to find out I didn't. Malta goya is just non-fermented wort basically. It is hopped, but if you decant the liquid before pitching there won't be any flavor transfer, and it has the right type of sugars to get a good healthy starter going.

Thanks for the info. I always have malta on hand (I'm Hispanic).

If you search for "Malta goya"in the search engine, there is a lot of info on it. I found it when searching for how to make starters with no DME.

I might try to ferment some malta to see what it tastes like just out of curiosity.

I've heard a couple of people have done that, but I don't remember hearing the results....I might try it with some old washed yeast just to see if the yeast is still good.
