Has anyone made ice cream or sorbet with their homebrew? Specifically, has anyone tried to make an ice cream using a hoppy beer?

I've been considering doing this and was wondering if anyone had some experiences they were willing to share. Mostly I'm curious what sort of character you get from lager yeast at room temperature - is it still fairly neutral, or does it go all fruity on you? Does it depend on the strain?

So I did my first all-grain yesterday. My 60 qt cooler with CPVC manifold worked beautifully. My cooler has a very awkwardly placed drain spout, but I was able to design the manifold to create a siphon and pull everything out. Test runs with water left behind slightly over a cup of water, and...

A friend of mine recently had a baby girl he named Cadence, and I'd like to brew a beer in honor of the occasion. Problem is, I can't think up a good name/theme for it. I keep coming back to "Cadence Cream Ale," and that just seems kind of lame. Anybody have any inspiration?
