'''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 on growing up a ''captured'' culture in wort rather than isolating yeast cultures on agar plates.
:''Special thanks goes out to Bryan Heit from Sui Generis blog and Jeff Mello from Bootleg Biology for providing the information in this article.''
