Pacman yeast is only available until Dec 31, so get it while you can! I picked up a pack over the weekend because I want to try Lor's Dead Guy clone. Lor, can you post the link to your recipe?

pain++ said:Hey Evan,
I'm going to rack tomorrow <brewed a few days after you!>, but the fermentation looks good. I used 1.5oz of oak, pre-packaged in a teabag-like sack from the LHBS. Steeping looks like it's going along well, did you end up adding any more vanilla? I'll let you know when I rack how we're looking.

I have light LME........... Hopes etc...
I dont have the gear for a all grain brew yet.
Thanks.
Very nice! I just got back from the Rogue Brewery, they were having their end of year garage sale. I came back with a couple more cases of beer. Their Youngers Special bitter and a Sweet chocolate stout so this makes it 6 cases I've bought within the past week. I love living close to it it's great to get deals like I did today.evetS said:I just ordered a Dead Guy AG kit including the Pacman from Austin, along with two extra Pacman for later.
Cheesefood said:OK, I'm going to make this, with a few modifications. Let me know how much of a difference it'll be since I bought a few wrong items.
Saddam Hussein Ale (Dead Guy Clone)
13oz Caramel 40L (Didn't have Belgian Cara-Munich)
13oz Munich 10L (is this the same as German Munich?)
7oz UK Crystal (bought the wrong stuff. Shouldn've gotten US Crystal 40 deg L)
4lbs Alexanders Pale LME
4LBS LDME (I substituted XLDME)
1 oz Perle@ 7.6 AA for 60 min (Lor's called for 7.5)
1/4 oz perle 30 mins
1/4 oz perle 5 mins
1/4 oz saaz 5 mins (I have whole Saaz, so probably bump it up to 10.5 grams)
Pacman yeast
Technique:
2.5 gallons brought to a boil, for hops.
~1.25 gallons heated in a seperate pot to 150, then added grains and worked to maintain consistent temp.
At last 10 minutes in hops pot, added grain wort and extracts.
Cooled with water kept in the freezer, plus some ice.
Cheesefood said:Don't know how this will turn out. It didn't taste great when I racked to Secondary, so I dryhopped 1.5 oz of Saaz (3.4%).
I found a dead fly in the bag of Saaz I got from Freshops.

Evan! said:Oh, and, um, Todd...dude...ever since Chris Lloyd sold out to DirecTV and took a shyte all over the legacy of BTTF, your avatar/quote leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I doubt anyone has any left. I have a starter going of dead guy right now. Started it last week. Last night I poured off some into a bottle and capped it so it's ready to go for next time. The rest I kept in the flask and added more extract to keep it going. If you want I could keep the starter going, and bottle up some more and ship it to you. Then the "Live Yeast Samples" labeling trick would actually be true.todd_k said:Anyone know if I can still get a hold of this yeast somewhere?

So is this the one pictured in your gallery?Cheesefood said:OK, I'm going to make this, with a few modifications. Let me know how much of a difference it'll be since I bought a few wrong items.
