Thanks Rick, It is hard to deal with a slow death, but it is out of everyone's control, except God's. Sorry to hear you won't be attending the Mead day..... that is ok, I am sure you have a lot going on!! We are opening up our home on Sat. to all who want to make mead and have fun. That is what the day is for. I may have to leave for part of the day, but that also depends on God's and Mom's timetable. We are trusting people, my wife and daughter and I, and I trust that people will come here, make mead and make merry, and clean up their own mess. That is all I expect. I am copying this note to the club. Hope it makes sense to all. Looking forward to a nice day on Saturday!!

My mother dies unexpectedly about 23 years ago. Thanks for the idea on the yeast. Now I have about four to choose from including 1318, 1028, 1098, and 1086. I think you have an excellent yeast and I have not yet that strain. As far as the red goes, I think anything will do. The red is a beer flavored predominantly by malt. Hops are way in back. It is helpful if it drops clean although filtering works well too. I am not sure who is coming to mead day. It sounds like you may need an alternate host. I would gladly offer but we have a previous commitment. Let me know if you are seriously planning on getting a bourbon barrel of double and count me in. I haven't brewed many Belgian style beers and look forward to a new challenge. BTW, the emptying process worked incredibly well with the exception of the last 5 gallons of sludge. Used about 3 psi of CO2 to force the beverage out a stainless dip tube and into the various cornies. A bathroom scale worked well for a level indicator until our club prez decided to start (and not stop) talking. It was a little messy but we cleaned it up. Probably lost a couple of pints. Later Rick >>> "Steve Weiland" <sweiland(a)usfamily.net> 08/03/04 03:26PM >>> Hi Rick and all, For an English-style brown or robust porter I like Whitbread yeast. ..... Wyeast 1086 that is. I don't have a preference for a Red ale yeast since I don't make that style beer. By the way, who is coming to mead day on Sat.?? My Mom is in the hospital and is terminal....moved to the Hospice Care center on Sunday. I still will host mead day, I hope. Her prognosis is not good, possibly another 48 hours or so.... By the way, I vote for a Bourbon Barrel Belgian Dubble style ale..... maybe I need to get my own barrel?? And Steve Piatz....."Germanium" is a rare earth element. The flower is a Geranium. :) Best regards to all in the clubs, Steve Weiland -----Original Message----- From: Rick Oftel <Rick.Oftel(a)toro.com> To: mba(a)thebarn.com <mba(a)thebarn.com> Date: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 8:30 AM Subject: Yeast recommendation >What yeast does the collective recommend for a Porter and a Red?

It was at the Sams in Bloomington just west on Nicolet on "American" or 79th Street. >>> Mark Glewwe <mark(a)glewwe-castle.com> 08/03/04 09:46PM >>> Rick - which Sam's Club?

Yeast recommendation

by Rick Oftel

What yeast does the collective recommend for a Porter and a Red? I plan on starting up the brewhaus in a couple of weeks and would like to use a single culture for both. This way, I brew on Friday and Sunday and drop the porter onto the dregs of the red. Rick Oftel
