Pitched it last night and the thing is bubbling away, smells great.



Remember, most gravity readings are based on 60 degree temps so you'd have to adjust:

You would harvest it from the bottle.

Yep, that's exactly what I did. Bell's uses the same yeast for just about all of their beers, I've read where it might be a California V strain. Not sure. Anyway, last year I salvaged some Hopslam yeast from a bottle that newcigarz sent me and propagated it up to an adequate amount. I pitched it into an IPA where it performed pretty well, and then salvaged more from the secondary. I now have about a half dozen mason jars of Bell's yeast in my frig.

Since then I've used it in a porter, IPA, IIPA, and a brown ale, all to good results.
