Since shock top is Unfiltered I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet?

Im going to guess its pasteurized so I doubt it, but give it a shot.

The magic answer is yes it works, I just did it on a stir plate. I used the yeast from the bottom of 4 bottles. I'm making shocktop with it and I had no problems with the yeast taking off in the wort.
I had one the other day, and it was a lot more enjoyable than I remember it being.
I was reading the bottle, and realized that it had sediment in it. Said to pour and then stir up the bottom, but to be honest it didn't really look like yeast on the bottom of the bottle. It may have been, it just looked weird though.

Update! Forget using the yeast from the shocktop bottle it's nasty at best. 1056 or 05 work best so far.

HAHA! So they use a different yeast for bottle conditioning or you picked up some wildness?

I used the yeast right from the bottle. It's nasty no other way to put it. At least I can say I tried it. That's what homebrewing is all about in my book.
