I thought you guys might like a concise description of how to isolate yeast from honey. Enjoy!

Question monsuier: "if you are really into wild ferments, you can pitch at this stage..."- Pitch with the mold on top? Or skim and pitch?
I'm trying to inoculate some "sour cultures" out of the bottom of a comercial brew. I've been waiting for my cake to develop, have plenty of nasties up top but my plan was to skim, decant, and pour in new starter must.
Not trying to steal yeast, but rather to practice a "wild" starter.
To get a isolated culture you can also plate them out on agar plates, grow the colonies up and then grow the wild yeast from the honey after identifying and selecting the colony. Great write up though.
