No, used the Chimay yeast.

Old Mr Beer Seasonal English Strong Ale. 20 months in the bottle and still very good. I don't think any of the new Coopers/Mr B Seasonals have matched the old ones.
Company tonight at the in-law's cottage. Went through some St. Valentine's Cherries in Honey, Raspberry High Country Canadian Draft, Moosedrool (recipe), Peanut Butter Oatmeal Stout, Irish Hills Red, and White House Honey Ale (most 2 bottles, some 1). Eclectic mix.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

First pour of Fedora Dave's 100 Years War IPA at 2 weeks in the bottle. Great recipe, Dave.
Nice light amber color, great hop aroma, 1 inch head
Well balanced IPA for sure,
Dave, I think this will enter my regular rotation. Thanks for posting the recipe.
My summer blonde ale. Brewed up 2 kegs bout 3 months back, just empty'd one and tap'd the other one. Need ta brew it again, everyone that has tried it loves it. I think I'm going to change the mash temp, they are a tad malty, but... I'd like to thin it out a bit more. This was a simple SMASH, American 2-row with Falconer's Flight hops for both bittering(more or less to just balance the batch) and taste. It has a very slight grapefruit taste, just about right. Later tonight after I BBQ we are gonna have root beer floats, love those things!!
Tonight will be Du Claws, Sweet Baby Jesus, a peanut butter porter. It is quite tasty with a heavy peanut nose and good peanut after taste. A good desert beer. I got a 6 pack that has lasted 2 weeks now because I can only drink 1 every few days. Added a photo.

Some Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale. It was bought last Dec. and I think the exp. date is like April or something but nonetheless, I think it is even better now.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.
