About to bottle mu Irish red, and also, the Hofbrau Oktoberfest rendition (for which I don't have high hopes). 

Not sure if I want to take another shot at the oatmeal toffee stout (I'm leaning towards this one), or maybe do a rebrew of one of my IPAs. 

Or come up with something new?  I keep threatening to do a Vienna lager or a Belgian strong dark...

I'd vote that you redo your IPA with a fresh vial of yeast to see if the phenol problem has gone away.

I'll have to re-order the yeast, though.  I assume we're saying I shouldn't use the yeast  have previously saved?

I love some munich and rye, ingoogni.  Never used crystal or chocolate rye, though.  Interesting,

I'm getting a fresh vial tomorrow and can spin some up for you if you like. If you'd prefer, I can just bring the fresh vial down for you.

I agree. Brew a known recipe to sort out issues. Keep brewing it until it is perfect. Either your own recipe or one a lot of people are familiar with. 

Yes to fresh yeast, etc... Hell, maybe even use dry yeast for a go or two to eliminate one possible avenue.
