Yeast from a brewery

[Bleach]

I have a batch that is not kicking off. We brewed it on Sunday and pitched a yeast cake at about 4pm. My choices are to buy yeast from the brew supply store on Tuesday or collect yeast from the blowoff tube at a brewery today. Any thoughts?

So it hasn't even been 24 hours yet?

Just wait it out. It'll get going. Patience.

I should have stated also that we started the yeast on Saturday. It was not active when we pitched it but figured it would come through.

If I had a brewery that gave me yeast that's probably all I would ever do.

From now on, that's what the plan will be. If I plan ahead, he can pull directly from the dump valve. I did that once and it was great.

Did they tell you what strain it is? That's pretty cool. I should call around and see if any of the local breweries are willing to do that.
