Thinking in a batch or two I may make an attempt at this recipe as well! We’ll see. Pretty high gravity beer.

Its a great experiment. I'm looking forward to it as well. Troy, another dude I brew with, did the same recipe as my Bourbon Barrel Porter only his was all grain and hopefully is putting his oak chips and whiskey in sooner. I can't wait to taste them side by side.

My Yeast Experiment is off to a good start: Same Wort, 2 different Yeasts 1) American Ale and 2) American Ale II. Although both similar, I’m looking to see what differences (even if subtle) exist between strains given the contstant of the wort and other conditions.

I have bubbles too. I have it sitting downstairs in my laundry room. I was reading a piece by the Rogue brewer where he says he ferments the PacMan yeast at about 60 degrees and never warmer than 70. It should be about right down there.
