So you've fermented in different vessels? What about yeast strains or dry vs. active? Temperature while fermenting? Is your brew pot REALLY clean?

I am a fan of Sam Adams, but now that I've got ~200 bottles, I'm starting to want to get rid of all of my bottles that aren't completely plain amber. Sam Adams have the Samuel Adams in cursive right below the neck, and it just doesn't look as nice when it's my own beer :rolleyes: My new...
