Greetings fellow brewers,
I've been reading a bit on how I should go about to isolate yeast strains from my favorite beers. Apparently, some commercial brewers use two different yeast strains at separate times in the brewing process. One for fermenting and one for priming. One popular beer for that would be the Hefeweizen.
Do any of you have more information on the reasons why they would go to such trouble? I have come up with my own theory but I am curious to some more opinions or, even better, factual information.
Do any of you use this technique in home brewing? What was your experience? (Pro/Con)
Cheers
