'''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.
:''Special thanks goes out to Bryan from Sui Generis blog and Jeff Mello from Bootleg Biology for providing the information in this article.''
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. milk Milk The Funk Facebook group post on catching wild yeast. 09/10/2017.]</ref>
