The yeast/bacteria on the berries have fermented wort but attenuation seems low so not looking very promising at the moment.

I haven't tested mine yet but I have a feeling a blackberry which was overripe and I left to macerate in it's own juices before putting it into some wort has fermented the strongest.<br /><br />One thing I'm interested in is that I heard someone write that they encountered a dominant yeast strain in a local area where he was trying to find some yeast.<br /><br />You're a lucky guy gettings sloes, I couldn't find any trees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-47070044158151804842016-10-16T16:22:56.949+01:002016-10-16T16:22:56.949+01:00It's 'cos I'm sat in front of the comp...It's 'cos I'm sat in front of the computer when I should be doing something more worthwhile!<br /><br />Yes, I think it would be interesting to try that if you see colonies with different morphologies. It's something I should have done with the Nottingham. I have started investigating some wild yeasts I've cultures from berries I picked for this year's sloe gin though!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-5104437927642547552016-10-16T16:16:23.873+01:002016-10-16T16:16:23.873+01:00Thanks for the fast responses!

If I see different yeast morphology when I plate them out do you think there's any point in doing mini fermentation tests (weight loss, ph change and plato change, +POF by smell)?<br /><br />I wonder if it's intentional or cross contamination?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-81504231961741695322016-10-16T14:52:41.750+01:002016-10-16T14:52:41.750+01:00I didn't look any further as I'd reached t...I didn't look any further as I'd reached the point where further investigation would cost money!<br /><br />As far as I can see the Surebrew bloke had based his claim about lager yeast on presumptive identification of the yeast based on colony colour which was not backed up by the more definitive incubation temperature test. So his claims about lager yeast in Nottingham were not substantiated, but the different colony colours does make it look like it's multiple strains.
