Interested in brewing a tripel sometime so I figured I may as well try and get some authentic yeast for the brew. Here's my attempt (which appears successful) at harvesting yeast from the bottle dregs. Used a half cup of DME for 2 quarts of water and followed standard sanitation procedures. These photos were taken ~36 hours after pitching dregs.
Enough talk, here are the pictures:
Here's a small yeast cluster bubbling away
You can very faintly see the thin layer of creamy white yeast settling on top of the trub
And another slightly more blurry picture but it seems to show the colour difference a bit better
Here's the whole set up renting some space on my pint glass shelf
