Hi I did it with the yeast on the bottom of a bottle of Chimay Triple, i
made 3 testtubes of sugar water and just added the yeast to that, put a
little plug of cottonwool on top to keep the bad stuff out. After a week or
so there was a constant bubble formation and i think there was also some in
crease in biomass, but that was pretty hard to see.I made a very small (4,5
liters) batch of cider with that yeast, just dumped it all in. And it worked
allright. Am trying to grow the yeast from a bottle of Chimay Grand Reserve
right now on honey water, should be better because of extra nutrients in the
honey, but it still isn't working :(
