A Bell's yeast starter.......for eschatz Bell's two hearted ale clone that I will be brewing tomorrow. :rockin:
Two Hearted Ale and Oberon...two of my favorites.
I brewed a pancake stout this year! Workmates named it. Didn't carb up at all...I call it "Pancake Stout"
It's an imperial stout (9.5%), partial mash with maple syrup and vanilla beans.
Slow down a bit. You harvested yeast from a commercial beer and brewed with it? Can you tell em how did you do it?Just finished brew a Belgian Pale Ale with yeast harvest from a bottle of ommegangs Abby ale.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
Love the pics and the info. Man brewing inside looks like a slice of Heaven! I'm really considering the Stopper2. I've been using a stainless spider I let rest on a stem in my BK. I haven't felt hop deprived, but still feel commando is the best way. 4" of snow killed my brew day yesterday. 25 today and 52 by Sunday, go figure. Like your stuff all the way around.11th batch of my ersatz Julius clone recirculating. Slept late, now playing catch up...

Could not be more pleased with how well this Hopblocker-2 worked today. That's 10 ounces of pellet mush left behind. And no bottom scorching.
