i have a hefe that i like in a store. the beer is bottle conditioned. there is what looks like yeast cake in the bottom of the beer, they seem to carb it up in the bottle with yeast. if i get 6 beer and drink the beer, can i take the cake and put it in a start to multiply the yeast then wash and use that to make my own hefe. i was thinking about adding the cake to a 1.5L start then spin it on my stir plate then after decant add some more water then wash it. then i would split that yeast into 6 glass vile and store in the fridge. supposedly the yeast they use to carb is the same yeast they use in the fermenting step. is this plausable? it would be cheaper then getting a smack pack for this strain and how many time can use the strain?
