Folks,
There has been just a little bit of discussion here previously about extracting yeast from certain commercial beers and I wonder if anybody can expand upon the theme.
In particular I've taken a great liking to the MSB Colonial Wheat Beer and have made up a couple of kit attempts at getting a good one (drinkable but nothing to boast about).
Pete Myers has given us a couple of recipes in a an earlier posting and I'm about to put one of them into action.My reading on the subject shows that the yeast is an absolutely key ingredient. Now I understand that MSB use the Hefeweizen yeast and I'd like to try and cultivate some.
As luck would have it I found a place yesterday that still had some cartons of the beer in stock ( it was only made for a short period and seems to have dried up) so I grabbed a couple of slabes to enjoy over the next few months.
So, is there a practical way of me doing this or should I just go back and buy the last two cartons
