So dumb old me grabbed the wrong yeast earlier and already got a starter going before I noticed it Anybody got a solid recipe for WLP041 Pacific Ale Yeast? I'm thinking something along the lines of an ordinary bitter probably...really open to anything though! Any suggestions are...

A little 3F Intense Red. I think I heard there's some cherry in this beer or something? Love breaking out the goods for Game of Thrones Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Well technically, you DO want fermentation to start in your starter. Basically what you've got with a starter is a tiny batch of beer for the yeast to ferment. No fermentation=no yeast reproduction. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Brewed as my first all grain batch today. Went very smoothly, though I got more boiloff with my new kettle than expected

They've had special truck sales of some old brews from the brewpub days. Holy Cow, Beezlebub, Focal Banger, The Crusher, and Petit Mutant. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

2012 bottle. If I didn't know better I would swear this beer had cherry in it. The things that bugs do to dark beers can be insane Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Only reason I went amber dme is that from my understanding there's usually some Munich in there and I don't wanna deal with a mini mash with her. Maybe go light dme with some caramunich? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Pm me your address I have a couple bottles in mind Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'll definitely consider the dry yeast. I just put in liquid cause I figure the idea of a yeast starter is a pretty important one to learn fairly early on. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
