Please help identify yeast

[radhe riku]

I have found a kind of yeast in my locality and It taste better than all the available yeast it can only be found in winter.

And your locality is...?

And what does your sensory test consist of?

 

[JohnSand]

If it is good, use it. Please give us more information: Where are you? What are you brewing? Is this wild yeast, or farmhouse yeast? Where do you find it?
I don't think that anyone will be able to identify yeast online. It requires at least a microscope and probably very sophisticated equipment.
I am interested and curious. Brewers are always looking for new options.

We have a traditional way of catching yeast and I found that the sample I have is really good. And it really does have good alcohol vv and it does taste Better than any other yeast in this place. I have started their cultivation and plan to send the sample to the lab in order to identify the yeast. Lets see what happens.

My traditional way of catching yeast is to buy it from the homebrew store. I would love to hear the process that you apply in Arunachal Pradesh. If I had a way to capture and propagate my local yeast in AZ I would definitely give it a try.

Using the yeast in beer? Cider? Wine?
What do you have to do to catch the yeast?
What kind of beer are you using it in?

 

[radhe riku]

Its kind of rice ale

 

[radhe riku]

They do it in many ways.

 

[radhe riku]

They would use the rice powder and husk mixed with warm water and fold them in that leaf

I will try to make a video of it and upload it in YouTube.
