Thanks for the detailed write-up. I will be practicing my decoction skills in the near future with this recipe.
As a vote of confidence for this recipe, I will be taking this to a six pack stimulus party I am attending soon. I don't normally subject the public to my beer as it is not normally very good. I feel comfortable putting this beer in a group with top tier professional beers.

My first recipe wasn't as close to the original but I knew I was on to something. I used Wyeast 1010 (VERY CLOSE) but not exact. I then decided to harvest some Bell's yest from a bottle. - that's when it became perfect.
I have only bottled this beer, I am going to keg this final batch and see how she does.
Did you just let the bottle sit of a little while then slowly poor the beer off and resuspend the pellet at the bottom in a yeast nutrient starter? Could you please give me more detail?
this is going to be a noob question but i just want to double check. My LHBS has cascade but its AA is 8.7. Would i be better to just use 0.5 oz with the higher AA or use less to match the 8.7. will using less result in less of the hops flavor from dry hopping? on page to the all grain used cascade at 5.5
well one is an all grain and one is a partial. it could be split but its a nice place to have both put together
What I meant to say was, I love obsessing over the flavors of beers. I would like suggestions of what beer I can obsess over next.
soo, am I missing it, or is there a good extract or partial mash version out there?
i agree with oberon missing some taste. I know people love it and i was under the blind impression i loved it to until i bought some the other day sat down and cracked one open. after half a glass i was missing all the flavor and it tasted pretty bland....i then began missing my blue moon.

Anyone else think it would be great if Larry Bell would be like most other brewers and offer his recipes for homebrewers? Every time I've gone to their store for supplies and asked about recipes for Two-Hearted, Oberon, Hopslam, etc., I was shut down like it was a corporate secret. "The recipes are not anything we share" they said. If I said anything negative about the operation after that I got the 1000 yard stare and now I don't go there anymore even though it's the closest LHBS. If you dig a little you'll see what a hypocrit Larry Bell is.
