Paulaner Yeast

[InspectorJon]

I bought a six pack of Paulaner Salvator dopple bock. There is some sediment in the bottom. Has anyone tried to propagate yeast from Paulaner beer before? I am assuming the white, powdery sediment is yeast. None of the bottles of this beer I have gotten before have had sediment like this in them.

You should stop thinking and just get to it. Might work ,might not. Steel a qt of wort from your next boil and go for it,won't cost a dime.

I don't think Paulaner bottle conditions their beers, so probably not yeast. The beer is unfiltered so it could just be proteins that settled out, but only way to tell is saving the dregs from a few bottles, building up a starter and seeing if the gravity drops on the starter if it ferments out.
