  So my first foray into brewing with wild yeast has had its ups and downs. I kept my wort too
  hot so I have minimal flavor from my fresh cascade hops. I just bottled and am concerned the
  carbonation ma...

  I cultured off a peach. I just dropped the peach into the wort and let it go in a starter.
  ...One more bug, did you use hops in your wort? I did with mine.

  You definitely need to check both taste and gravity. The wild culture I have has some form of
  fermenting yeast along with some bacteria and brett. It seems stable after a few weeks but it

  First Wild Yeast Pitch Ever: Amber Extract, fresh Cascade hops, and Wild Sacc. cultivated from

  Still no action. Do you think density could be an issue? It is pretty thick with malt extract

  Q2: Nope, yeast + wort + aeration should do it. You could add some yeast nutrients (zinc), but
  it's not necessary at all...My main concern right now is aeration. How long should I wait
  before I should...

  Were you just checking the liquid or was there any material at the bottom you could have
  checked? In those small amounts of extract, there's not much sugar and everything in your
  sample is fighting fo...

  This past month a microbiologist friend and I were working on collecting wild yeast. We pulled
