Every summer, I brew a couple of batches of hef based on Jamil's recipe from BCS. Last week, I made 10 gallons, so I am going to have a crap ton of the yeast around. I also coincidentally am going to swap out a couple of pieces of equipment in my brew stand (moving from Bayou Classic kettles to converted keggles), so the timing is going to be perfect to brew to identify any equipment issues.
So, my question is, are there any other styles that use American hef yeast? I considered a White IPA or black hef or some other hybrid. Just looking for ideas.
On a related note, 5 of the 10 gallons of my hef is going on 5 lb of home grown blackberries, too... It makes it kind of a tart, but fruity hef. Highly recommended if it is your thing.
Cheers!
