I have yeast envy. Everybody and their brother seems to have their own strain of yeast. Whether it's Dogfish Head with Doggie or Rogue with Pacman or whatever.
So, how do they come by these bad boys? Do they breed them, buy them? I can see how European breweries come by them, after hundreds of years of brewing, but where do American brewers get their's?
Also, anyone here play around with wild yeast strains? I have a keen interest in harvesting the power of local bugs. Add some "terroir" to my beer.
