Not living in the right valley in Europe, I still find the idea of using
wild yeast interesting. Has anyone tried this (deliberately) and if so what were the results? -- -bill davidsen ) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me Beer blog: http://www.tmr.com/~davidsen/beer |

I've had some experiments from a local micro that have used
"cultivated" wild yeast. They have a staff microbiologist who cultivated 7 wild yeast isolates from wild raspberries growing in Cheyenne Canyon Colorado. They didn't ferment out their beers with the yeast but rather innoculated finished conventional beers with honey and the wild yeast isolates. The results have been good to phenominal IMO. At the merely good side the beers have been slightly lactic but rather one-dimensional and sometimes "Orvallish". On the phenominal side they made a "sour wheat" that went through the entire sweet-tart profile I haven't tasted the like of since I had Cantillon Iris on tap. _Randal |

It relies on wild yeasts living on the elderflowers. -- ___________________________________________ Sam Wigand "Quaggy River Brewery" |
