edit: if you are feeling really adventurous you can harvest CPA yeast, (from CPA or CSA bottles) step it up and use this for your CPA's, as I understand it, it is with this yeast you will get closer to a real CPA (and pertty much the only way).. Ive tried it once but I suspect I underpitched and the resulting brew was... well lets just forget about that one... there was a link here somewhere for the how to do.. will try and find it later for you.

Good Luck.

[re-edit] found it, check out the attached PDF in this article Coopers Yeast


Bad time of year to try this outside Adelaide, think hot summer, beer on truck crossing Hay ( or Nullabor ) Plain, 40d eg C day equals dead yeast. Better to purchase decent yeast from your HBS. Harvesting the Coopers PA yeast works best in Aug,Sept, Oct, when the interstate trip is done in winter, and always check the best after date on the bottles to make sure you get young stock.
