Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

You must have made a good starter then.

Aye mate, if it turns out any good i will be saving the yeast so you can have some of that if you want also..When the slant arrived i didn't have a clue what to do with it at first.. I just scraped a sanatized needle tip over the yeast cells and added it to 40 ml of wort then into 120 ml then 1 liter. I was amazed how much yeast you can culture in a week from a needle scraping.I think I might go down the slant storing route for my yeast bank saving in the future..

Planning on making an ale similar to Panhead Super Charger - I was planning to add some toffee malt. Any ideas on what % would be suitable?

I don't sorry but noticed Brewtopia is offering this as a clone recipe kit. If this is any interest to you.

NZ pilsner, with a little Munich I, a little maize, and hopping with Riwaka.

I'm re-brewing a hoppy, fairly dry amber ale I've been working on, and a kit APA from Mangrove Jack.

Yesterday brewed a Munich Helles. Very simple recipe based off the one on Brulosophy.com.

5.00 kg Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (3.9 EBC) Grain 1 89.0 %
0.50 kg Munich Malt (17.7 EBC) Grain 2 8.9 %
0.12 kg Melanoiden Malt (39.4 EBC) Grain 3 2.1 %
35.00 g Liberty [4.30 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4 16.7 IBUs
2.0 pkg German Bock Lager (White Labs #WLP833) [35.49 ml] Yeast 5 -

Are you using a meter of pH strips Guy?

Doing and few experimental brews at the moment - 6L Liberty Citra clone attempt and an 8L sour mash berliner weisse split half and half across mango and blueberries. 

Care to share the Citra recipe?  One of my favourite beers - I was keen to work on a clone ... pretty challenging I suspect.

Here's what I've got so far...

Mash at 64.4

OG: 1.080

FG: 1.012

Batch size: 25L

36.00 l Christchurch NZ Water 1 -
9.75 g Calcium Chloride (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 2 -
6.45 g Epsom Salt (MgSO4) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 3 -
5.73 g Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 4 -

0.60 kg Gladfield Wheat Malt Grain 8 5.9 %
0.30 kg Gladfield Light Crystal Malt (63.0 EBC) Grain 9 3.0 %
0.20 kg Gladfield Sour Grapes Malt (4.0 EBC) Grain 10 3.0 %

1.0 pkg California Ale (White Labs #WLP001) [35.49 ml] Yeast 19 -
50.00 g Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 20 0.0 IBUs
50.00 g Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 4.0 Days Hop 21 0.0 IBUs

1.080 to 1.012? That looks pretty extreme for such a big beer. White Labs says that WLP001's attenuation is only around 77% on average. 

I guess you could replace a little malt with simple sugars to try and dry the beer out.
