Harvesting hefe yeast?

[ctrlpabrewer]

Okay, so I ordered some of the misc. supplies that I need to brew a blood orange hefe except I forgot to order yeast

Is there a commercial hefe out there that I can harvest dregs from? I would rather pay for a six pack than pay for shipping again...

Try Sierra Nevada Kellerweis. I know it has been successfully bottle harvested. You want German Hefe yeast correct?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Otherwise I'll be pitching S-05 on an otherwise interesting beer.

Do you have a decent home brew shop in your area?

No, that's the problem. I order everything online. Our closest shop is about 100 miles away.

college town like that doesn't have a LHBS? Sounds like a very good business opportunity.

Yeah, I wish someone would open one. The winery outlet in the mall has a few things (mostly wine-making, but I can get a carboy or siphoning equip in a pinch), but brewing equipment and supply sends you toward philly.

It sucks...
