I have to be honest, I hate buying yeast. I just don't like it. THere is something really cool and satisfying about culturing yeast from commercial beers. I am now converting my operations to use strains that I have cultured. Rogue Pacman for my "normal/everyday" ales and Chimay for my belgians.
I have also cultured yeast from redhook...but not impressed with that yeast.
Do you guys have any input or opinions on some other yeast to harverst from commercial beers? I would love to get my hands on new belgiums fat tire yeast...they say it's a neutral american strain....bull crap!!
I was thinking possibly harvesting from boulevard so I get a nice heff strain.....
when you think about it, rogue pacman yeast is just so versatile.......it really reminds me of nottingham....
