Anyone from the Chicago area has gotta be familiar with Pipeworks Brewing Company. I'm am making a very desperate attempt at harvesting their yeast from a dreg of their War Bird brew since it's only 4.5% ABV. There is literally not one beer that I have had from them that isn't delicious. I have noticed that every one of their brews has a very distinct "yup this is a Pipeworks brew" taste to it and I've come to conclusion that it's gotta be the yeast. Does anyone at all know what yeast they use? Is it a "house strain"? Or something I can easily purchase over the counter. Please let me know if u can or if you have successfully harvested and stepped up from dregs. I've done this process once before with Bells THA and it worked freaking amazingly.
