Two primary way's

1. More mouth feel and a little less dry
2. Slighly less abv.

The lower the mash temp say up to around 150* will produce smaller more fermentable sugars.

The higher the mash temp 155* to 167* will produce larger and less fermentable sugars.

Thanks, Thats what I figured. Last 3 times I made this i was mashing around 150. I didnt take the actual temp just used a calculation and thats what im assuming I got. The beer blew off... this time I took the temps and it was 154 for 60 mins... My OG was @ 1.056. Fermented nice, but no blow off. Same yeast as ive been using in the past (WL-SD Super yeast). Ill know in a week when i rack it to dry hop where my FG is at...

So has anyone successfully harvested yeast from ruination?

I've never seen bottles of Ruination that had much sediment in them. I've seem some of their "regular" IPA with a good amount. I was planning to try scavenging some from a few of those bombers.

I may give it a try.

How the heck would I know of I have yeast in the bottom of my starter or if it's just the starter wort sediment?
Take a gravity reading, I guess?

Wow. Very good indeed! I used 05 for the yeast, it was what i had, and Columbus instead of magnum, other then that i stayed true to the recipee. Will defiantly make this again.

Mine turned out really nice with the Pacman. While I dry hopped for 1 week with 2oz cascade and 1 oz of Chinook, it doesn't seem like enough to me. My only regret is that I didn't double dry hop this bad boy. Will rebrew with a few alterations, and 2x dry hop next time. All in all, Great brew!
