I was driving to work thinking today about how yeast reproduces. Is it sexual or asexual reproduction. I ask because I have been wondering about 'custom straining' or something, say I have a yeast that I like the beer it produces but it can't handle high ABV solutions. Can I put a packet of 'flavor' yeast and a packet of 'sturdy' yeast and expext them to produce unique offspring? Or do yeast just replicate themselves and I would end up with a collection of flavor and sturdy yeast comingled without cross breeding?
