I am working on a starter from the settled yeast in East End Brewing’s Hefeweizen. 3 oz of DME in a quart of water, boiled for about ten minutes. The fun part is doing it in East End’s growler.

I will be using this on a beer that has a lot of unusual ingredients from all over. I received some hops from my wife’s friend in Iowa. They were a little on the yellowish side, but they had a great aroma, so I’ll use them for aroma hops. I also have the hops leftover from the Rye Pale Ale that were done in a french press into the secondary. Those have all of their alpha acids left, so they will go in at the beginning of the boil.

All in all, it should be an interesting beer. I’ll post later about how it goes.
