Subject: Duvel yeast 

 
Has anyone been sucesseful at culturing Duvel yeast from a bottle? I have tried  
culturing yeasts from several bottles, some imports and some carried from  
Belgium, and have had nothing grow each time. I realize that Duvel is made with  
2 yeasts in separate batches, which are filtered and the beer given a dose of  
one (the fruitier and more flocculant of the two) of the yeasts at bottling  
time, so it would be impossible to duplicate this beer with just one of the  
strains. But it would be fun to try! Thanks.

Subject: chalk 

 

 
        Al mentioned using chalk in a Brett starter.  Just a quick FYI:  
CaCO3 is real chalk, but much of what you buy as chalk is just plaster of  
paris, ie Gypsum, MgSO4.  CaCO3 is barely soluble in neutral and  
alkaline solutions, but if you have a little excess, it will  
dissolve more as the pH goes down.
