fishnbowljoe Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Another news article for the beer lovers. I know this is mostly of regional interest, but it’s pretty intriguing, and there’s a bit of history involved. Bottoms up! https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/missing-linck-yeast-was-found-in-an-abandoned-lagering-cellar-now-it-has-its-own-holiday/ar-AAXq3Rp?li=BBnb7Kz 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks Joe, I like the old style German lagers, unfortunately they are increasingly more difficult to find. These days it's IPA or fruit flavored beers that are popular. Such is life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yeast cells can go dormant for long spans of time, then start growing again when the conditions are suitable. The oldest I've heard was culture started from sediment remaining in ancient Egyptian pottery vessels (several thousand years old). A story I read on BBC, bottle conditioned ale from a cold water ship wreck from the 1800s, brewers got a culture going from a sample. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
