catching lager yeast from commercial beer bottles?

[ferasof]

Hello everybody

I live in an area where there is no brewer's yeast , so I rely on catching it from filtered commercial beer bottles.

I poured a full bottle of ale beer and some nutrients in addition some wort in a can, And left to ferment within room temperature and after less than a week the yeasts began to multiply the strongly in the flask.

Now I want to get Lager's yeast with same way... i follow the same method as in ale yeast, bout used filtered commercial lager beer bottle.
i left my jar for about 1 week In the fridge at a temperature of about 10 C - to prevent any ale yeasts from growing - and nothing has happened so far.

I hope answer and thank to all.

I think you got ale yeast from bottles that had yeast in them. The beer was carbonated in the bottle, leaving some yeast in the bottom. I suspect that almost all commercial lagers are filtered and carbonated before bottling. Those bottles contain no yeast.

Greetings!

Can you order and get it delivered to you via mail? If so, I HIGHLY suggest using Fermentis S-189 Saflager yeast - which is produced is France ir Austria ( I think).

Since it's dry yeast it will survive a long journey to you.

GOod luck!

In addition to this, some breweries use a "bottling yeast" that is different than the yeast used to ferment the beer (SafAle F-2, for instance).
