I waited about 3 weeks for BMW to get it in, but it looks like this yeast is just too in demand. Maybe re-using this yeast is a good idea once you get your hands on it.

I have brewed three or four batches from yeast harvested from one bottle of Rogue. It's easy and it works. Plus you get free beer.

+1. I have used this yeast for many a beer and I have found that this yeat performs exactly like WLP001 but is slightly more flocculent. So, i wouldn't wait or postpone brewing because pacman was not available. Rogue overpitches and ferments cool on most of their brews. I would just use WLP001 mash high and ferment cool. If dead guy dry's out it doesn't taste nearly as good. 1.014 is the sweet spot.
