I brewed up a batch of Pliny the Elder clone. Brewed the week before Christmas and it was pouring on new years. It came out great. I have never had Pliny so I cant say if it was accurate to the original. I split the batch between US-05 yeast and a new yeast by Rochester Yeast Co. AM-CAL. The US-05 finished faster and dryer. The AM-CAL had more character by adding a bit of spiciness.
