Can I reclaim Yeast

[AZOTH99]

I haven't heard of it, I really don't think I can but I figured I'd ask anyway.

I have a few bottles of Chimay that I brought back with me from Europe.

I can see the sediment at the bottom of the bottles. Is it possible to reclaim the yeast in there make a starter and use it for future brews?

or is it pretty much dead and gone.

Look into harvesting yeast from a bottle. A quick search on here or google should result in a lot of info

Yes, if it hasn't been flash pasteurized then you should be able to just streak it onto some agar. You then take a colony off of the agar and make a starter with it.

Good luck
