Suprisingly enough for how much beer I have drank and brewed in my life tonight I had my first rogue brew. I bought a sixer of the dead guy ale. I can't believe it's an ale. Really nice maibock, german octoberfest thing going on. So I went online and found that they use "pacman" yeast. I thought enough of this beer that I decided to harvest the yeast from the sediment on the bottom of the bottles. I made up a starter and am decanting the yeast from the bottles into the room temp starter after the yeast warms to room temp.
I looked it up and this yeast is supposed to ferment like crazy and tolerate 45-75 degree fermentation temps?
Does anybody have any experience with this yeast? Sounds to me like the best of both worlds! Ferment cold if you want clean crisp lager, ferment warmer for ales.
wish me luck on my yeast harvesting...
