I'm soon to brew a Blackberry American Wheat Ale (nice drinking for spring I assume) and as I love Flying Dog's Wheat in Heat Ale I figured I'd use their some of their yeast.
That part's going fine, the two cultures are bubbling nicely and I'm soon to move them to the fridge to save for later in the week. My question begins with me typing "bottle conditioning" into wikipedia out of curiosity and I came across this line:
"Some beers, however, use a different strain of yeast for bottling, which in effect contaminates the primary yeast that gives the beer its character."
I'm sure this isn't really a problem with an established & quality brewery like Flying Dog, but i was wondering if anyone else has cultured their wheat in heat yeast for a beer? How did it turn out?
