Wild yeast isolation, sometimes known as yeast wrangling, refers to the process of catching wild yeast, and isolating it with agar plates as a pure culture. This article will also contain information for growing up a captured mixed culture in wort rather than isolating pure cultures.
- Special thanks goes out to Bryan Heit from Sui Generis blog and Jeff Mello of Bootleg Biology for providing the information in this article.
