I've been thinking of doing a 2H clone and was researching recipes. I saw this kit as well. Just wanted to point out that the hops they include with the kit are from the hops they buy for brewing, so higher quality than most.
Also, you can buy Bell's house yeast on their website if you don't want to do a starter. (But, then you miss drinking the beer to get to the dregs.) It's Imperial Yeast A62.
I can't get any Imperial yeasts here in Europe anymore, only leftover stock from before they stopped shipping here.
Think there are some discussions about what is considered Organic in the USA is not considered Organic in the EU.
I also don't get any Bell's beer here so I can't harvest from anywhere either. I did drink TH on holidays in NY a few years ago though and loved it.
Has it been agreed on which other commercially available yeast would come closest? Chico should be close but not quite there, I was wondering about WY 1098 as I have some of that. I could also use M42 or M36 from Mangrove Jacks.
I also have London III and WLP005 British ale but they probably attenuate to low and also a bit too British.
