Summit Hefe Yeast

[johnpreuss]

Has anyone successfully cultured summit brewery's hefe yeast? The web site says that it's been filtered with some german yeast left in to keep it fresh. I have 3 bottles from a sampler pack and was thinking about saving the dregs from all three and trying to culture from that. ANYONE?

anyone?

That might be a no, but nothing saying you can't try it! Mix up some wheat starter and give it a go. Just start small and work your way up to a good pitchable volume.

It may be a lager strain that they add back to bottle condition.

If you have a way to reliably hold 99°F, you can find out for sure:
