I'm slowly working up to what I would call a home laboratory. I've got my pipettes and my ethanol lamp, my loop and agar plates. I've started harvesting some yeast from bottles.
The limiting factor is yeast vitality - since some of the bottles have been at RT at the liquor store for who knows how long.
So far I've succeeded in getting yeast from Aventinus, as well as a french wit ("Britt") - and I think I've got colonies coming up from a bottle of Schneider Original. (You can probably see that wheat beers are my thing.)
Does anyone know whether Schneider uses the same yeast in Aventinus and Original?
I have a starter going of Hefe IV and am planning on trying successive batches of wheat beer using my Hefe IV and Aventinus clones. If the Original picks up, I might try a third batch with it...
