Sun Dec 09 11:21:53 -0800 2007 26180 Chinon00 1 3192847 I've heard that you can recover and culture yeast from Sierra Nevada beers (in one of my brewing books......Brewmaster's Bible by Stephen Snyder....the recipe for "Quilters Irish Death", if you're interested) but I don't know if that means it is merely unpasteurized rather than bottle-conditioned. It's been a while since I've had any but I can't seem to recall it ever having a sediment, so I really can't say for sure. Sun Dec 09 12:12:43 -0800 2007 3192744 146433 algorithmnation 1 3192976 I think there are many. Look especially at the craft breweries' IPA's or other so-called pale ales. It'll usually tell you on the bottle. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is probably the most well-known bottle-conditioned beer nationally; you can get it almost anywhere. Sun Dec 09 13:16:15 -0800 2007 3192744 131118 Xiao Yang 1 3193080 Many of the Bell's beers. Sun Dec 09 13:55:20 -0800 2007 3192744 10998 Jim Dorsch 2 3199991 Jim, any idea what yeast Bell's uses? Tue Dec 11 17:47:45 -0800 2007 3193080 79234 hammerhead 3 3200775 I'll see if I can find out, but my hunch is no one's talking. Wed Dec 12 05:28:59 -0800 2007 3199991 10998 Jim Dorsch 3 3201619 Pretty sure Two-Hearted is bottle condition. The label on the neck should say that each bottle is topped off with yeast. I believe Bulldog's original wheat is also bottle conditioned Wed Dec 12 09:54:05 -0800 2007 3199991 123056 mplsmike 1 3193461 AleSmith, Allagash, Russian River, and Lost Abbey are the ones I've had. Sun Dec 09 17:01:38 -0800 2007 3192744 10809 Josh 1 3193609 Moylan's out of CA bottle conditions. I had their 2xIPA and Russian Stout, both fantastic. Ommegang bottle conditions. A few Avery products are, the Reverand for sure. If we include North America, then I would say Unibroue as well. Sun Dec 09 18:02:28 -0800 2007 3192744 12484 MVNYC 2 3199935 I second MVNYC's choices (Ommegang and Unibroue) I haven't seen Sierra Nevada as bottle conditioned. Is that a special edition brew? Tue Dec 11 17:30:43 -0800 2007 3193609 122112 baekster 3 3200019 I pretty sure all of their beers are BC. 20 years ago when I started homebrewing we used to culture the sediment and run multiple batches off of it. There seems to be much less sediment in the bottle these days. Tue Dec 11 17:59:31 -0800 2007 3199935 79234 hammerhead 1 3201979 I've successfully cultured yeast from New Belgium years ago. So many beers are bottle conditioned, it would much easier to identify the traits which allow you to notice that they are... Sediment, floaties and such, but filtering has gotten so much better nowadays, they may still be live, but mostly flocc'ed out. Wed Dec 12 11:17:15 -0800 2007 3192744 87015 bigchow 1 3245296 Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat is just that, unfiltered and is bottle conditioned. There is plenty of sediment on the bottom of each bottle. And it is a good drinking beer. Sat Dec 29 12:44:37 -0800 2007 3192744 153274 blantto 2 3245686 I wonder how many hefeweizens are bottle-conditioned and how many are carbonated in a tank before packaging. Sat Dec 29 16:11:10 -0800 2007 3245296 10998 Jim Dorsch 3 3247855 I know Schneider is bottled with the primary yeast, most of the rest are bottled with a lager yeast. Sun Dec 30 16:26:23 -0800 2007 3245686 63643 niquejim 1 3249443 Hair of the Dog Adam, Fred and Rose are all bottle conditioned and wonderfully tasty brews.
