Hi everyone. I'm looking to do a stout in the near future, maybe my first ag brew definitely my second one. So I'm looking around for some ideas on a recipe for a stout. Looking for about 4.5%. I've got a couple of bottles of titanic stout in the basement at the moment n was wondering if anyone knows if the yeast they use for bottling is their primary strain? If it is I might give a go at harvesting it from the bottles n making it up to a starter. If the collected brewing brains around here could help me out with these questions I'd be very appreciative.
Cheers James

Re: stout recipe
This is my Oatmeal stout "Black Gold" which if I say so myself is pure velvet.
4.00 Kg Pale Malt
0.25 Kg Crystal malt
0.25 Kg Chocolate malt
0.25 Kg Amber malt
0.25 Kg Rolled oats
25g Northern brewer at start of 90 min boil
25g Fuggles at start of 90 min boil
It comes out about 5% ABV and 35 EBU
I've never tried harvesting the yeast from titanic, but I have got a couple of bottles of it in the cupboard that I picked up in Morrisons for this very brew. Not sure if it's the primary strain but might make a starter up with it and do a demijohn worth on my next brew. Not sure I'll risk the whole 5 gallon just in case, unless someone else has tried it successfully?
I'm thinking of adding 5Ib of blackberries on flame off for my next brew.
