I’m working on a new product to help develop wild yeast beers by more easily isolating single strains. I was hoping somebody with more actual brewing experience could give me some direction/examples of great wild yeast recipes they’ve used so I can start to accumulate some recipes to try!
Thanks a bunch
If you’re interested in my method you can check our kickstarter campaign at the link below. It’s really cheap to contribute, only $9, so if you want to try a wild yeast brew I sincerely appreciate your support! I don’t need a lot of backers to get this thing going, so each person means a lot!
You’re several years behind trying to get into that game and the information on how to buy and prepare plates and use a loop are already fairly well disseminated.
The language in the kickstarter is gimmicky. Yeast traps? Special yeast food? Come on, man. It’s just plates, extract and agar.
Okay, thanks for the input, I can try to make it less gimmicky. You and I may know that but I don’t want to assume everybody does and yet I want them to understand what something is without a science lesson.
It’s definitely not a complicated idea, but it will cost about $300 to buy all the individual ingredients and I don’t expect somebody interested in trying it would want to buy a 12 pack of plates, a large container of yeast extract or agar… Even if you can get some in smaller containers, I’m just trying to make it more convenient and cheaper for people.
It seemed to me like you have not put enough thought into who your target market group is.
Q: The consumer would be whom? What would they be doing with cultivated yeast?
A: An experienced home brewer. At least that is what I perceive to be the target audience for your project.
Then they would probably have a firm understanding of plates, extract, agar, a inoculation loop, and eventually slanting. With or without the “science lesson” and I can’t see that being $300… but maybe I am wrong.
At a minimum that info is already readily available in Yeast and Bootleg Biology sells similar kits at a higher price point but with a more robust kit.
