Updated Successful Bottle Harvest

[PurpleJeepXJ]

I know there are a lot of topics on here about which Commercial Beer you can successfully harvest yeast from. There seems to be only one list (Yeasts from Bottle Conditioned Beers) that everyone refers to and it is fairly old it seems and half useless. I would like to start a new list of the forum members' success on different brews. Please post the commercial beer name and whether it is the primary or bottling strains (in your opinion). Hopefully we can keep this thread on topic and it wont die and fizzle out like the ones in the past. Thanks for your input.

My successfull harvests so far:

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis
Bells (from two hearted bottles)
Rogue Pacman (Shakespear Stout bomber)
Hoegaarden (from six pack)
Chimay (from all three styles)


I am in love with the Chimay strain.

I've got a few:
Orval (used the stepped up dregs at bottling)
Jolly Pumpkin - anything
Russian River Temptation
BLVD Saison Brett
Odell Sabortuer

 

[Revvy]

I hope you do do a list. Someone else said they'd do it a couple years back, and went no where with it.

 

[thughes]

add Saison Dupont to the list

 

[BrewerinBR]

Bell's Oberon
SN Pale Ale
Bell's Pale Ale

I will definitely put together a list once I get a bunch of responses to this thread and that way viewers will not have to search through all the pages if this thread gets huge. Thanks all for the input so far!!

permo, what size bottle of chimay did you use?

 

[PurpleJeepXJ]

I think it was the big one... whatever that is

 

[suprchunk]

I got one out of Captain Lawerence Cuvee De Castleton.
Mikkeller Spontanale
Cantillon - not from the bottle though, it was from the 5l takeaway, so still a young lambic
And like mentioned above, any Jolly Pumpkin

I've got a whole slew of beers that I am going to try and harvest from over here before I head back stateside. Couple years ought to net me a few slants worth.
