Reculturing yeat from bottles

Aug 26, 2006 1 Replies

Does anyone have comments to reculturing yeast from commercial beers? In particular Pilsners. I'm interested in knowing what beers might be best, as I've read that some bottlers hide their yeast culture by adding a second yeast towards the end of the process thus eliminating this reculturing. Any thoughts and ideas? Paul



In order to culture yeast, the beer needs to be bottle conditioned. And I'm not aware of any pilsners that are bottle-conditioned.
