'''Wild yeast isolation''', sometimes known as "yeast wrangling" or more formally [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioprospecting "bioprospecting"], 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. Culturing wild yeast and bacteria should not be confused with [[Spontaneous Fermentation]] because many of the microbes that might make a flavor impact during spontaneous fermentation are killed off during the wild yeast culturing processes.

3) Hoped wort can be used as well, although my success at getting yeast + lacto with hopped wort is poor...I usually only get yeast, even with a meagre 3-5 IBU.
4) Raccoons, possums, rats, squirrels, deer, and pretty much every other fur-bearing animal (and some of the feather-bearing kinds as well) love unfermented wort, so try to place your jar somewhere they cannot get at it - while still maintaining airflow. We've got wild turkeys in the back, and those f***ers can fly (editor's note: language, Bryan!), so its a real challenge to keep them out." <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1817522898275916/?comment_id=1817911281570411&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D Bryan of Sui Generis blog.
