I suppose it will be just a case of learning as I go. I'll do a little digging on testing for AA. I am also interested in how hard/advantageous it would be to learn how to culture my favorite strains of yeast myself. On another note, the last 2 days I tested a few beers to determine if I would want to try cloning them. I tested Boulevard Pale Ale, Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat and Killians Irish Red. The only one of the 3 that I liked was the Pale Ale. The Wheat was just LOUSY. A pitiful attempt to brew Weizen. I wasn't particularly fond of Killians either. I may brew a decent IPA sometime in the near future and will definately do a British Bitter.
