Why doesn’t Wyeast offer any contact information? It is odd to me they now want you to ask your local distributor. The local would know zero about getting this yeast or when it’s available. I thought 3864 was available every year. I wish I had known that, I would have kept that yeast around. I would love to have some of that strain. I’ve tried to culture from Uni bottles and it doesn’t act/taste the same. Maybe they use a different bottle yeast, which I doubt. I can’t believe I didn’t harvest some. [emoji849][emoji57]
Excuse me, but it’s hard to figure out what you’re talking about. I might be able to get you in contact of I understood what you wanted to contact them about.
Sorry for the title, couldn’t edit it to Wyeast.
OK, that makes more sense…changed it for ya. Now, what is it you want to know from them?
That was fast didn’t think of going to you. I was wondering if it will be released again in 2017, or how to obtain some of this yeast.
Thanks Denny
As far as I can tell, it’s a year round strain now…3864-PC - Wyeast Lab
But it’s got the “-PC” (Private Collection) tag in it’s name. On the flip side, 3726 has lost it’s ‘-PC’ so hopefully that means it’s a year round 
Damn, missed that. Looked at the list of what Drew and I selected for PC this year and 3864 isn’t on the list. But 3726 is now year round.
When did that change? (3726 year round). I emailed last year and they told me they weren’t gonna run it anymore at all. I understood it to be some sort of agreement with the Imperial start up?
It didn’t change to my knowledge - I emailed them about the same thing a while back. As far as I knew, the only year round source (maybe only source period) for 3726 is what’s reported to be Imperial Rustic. Awfully close to 3726 to me. 
Edit - I take it back. Wyeast’s site does show 3726 now as a year round. Ok, another source then. Things must’ve changed since I emailed them (Drew and Denny’s input?). Cool!
I have 3726 in my cart at nb and showing in stock
Sweet! It’s been a few months since I got the email from Wyeast. Good to know!
MoreBeer still doesn’t have 3726. If they don’t soon I’ll have to order from NB…
So I take it, 3864 will not be released this year.
It’s the word I got late last year.
Keep in mind that the guys who started Imperial used to work for Wyeast.
Not as far as I know.
I shot Imperial an email about 3864 and never had any response from them.
My own fault for not harvesting some from my starter. First time I didn’t do that in who knows how long, and it had to be a PC. Maybe I’ll find someone that keeps it, probably a long shot. Thanks
