@phattysbox: The beer was not spontaneously fermented. And the beer where I put the dregs in either. Lets hope it not Candida....

I am very limited with my spare time right now but I will look at all the cells in more detail and try to use my oil immersion objective. And read about mycology

(as Wikipedia is down today... luckily the German version is still available). Thank you for your information. I guess I am at the right address here to get further ideas about my mysterious cells. I might name them X. mysteria

Cheers everyone

Here's a couple pictures of what I suspect to be brett that I grew on a WLD bacteria isolation plate that contained cyclohexamide.

I love this thread so much I want to marry it. And have buds with it.

Looks like Brett to me. Maybe Brett L.

Only one way to find out - brew a test batch!

I picked a colony off with a sterile pipette tip so I didn't have to dick with a loop. There is liquid culture going right now that I will plate out and check colonies afterwards.

That looks like Brett to me as well. And I agree on the test batch approach as well. I did two starters a few weeks ago with two strains I isolated from two commercial Gueuzes and the appearance and smell was pretty convincing.

And I did some further research about the strains in my pictures and the yeasts there are Bretts as well. Further on, I had a look at B. lambicus and B. bruxellensis from Wyeast and took a lot of pictures. I am still writing the posts but will publish them as soon as possible on my wordpress-site.
