I was thinking it might be fun to try to culture chico yeast from a bottle SNPA.
Yeah, I know you can buy that strain from White Labs or Wyeast, but for about the same $ you can get a sixer of SNPA and try to get the yeasties from that.
But I checked out some bottles at the store yesterday: it sure doesn't look like a bottle-conditioned beer with live yeast in it. I looked at several bottles and not one had a trace of visible sediment in the bottom.
Anyone done this? Or is it a homebrewing urban myth?
