Very nice Cyrus. The old man that showed me how to make moonshine always told me to take about a handful of corn or 2 row barley and soak it in some water, lay it out in direct sunlight on some kind of cloth and allow it to sprout. Once the sprouts were about 2 to 3 inches long, you grounded all of it up into a powder and you had 100% natural yeast.

[@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731]

that dosent seem right

[@davidmetis6249]

That makes malt. You need malt to convert the mash. That's an old technique. Time tested.

Last week I made 2- 6 gallon mashes.
I set them aside to cool and wait to pitch yeast.
Lo and behold the next day they had started fermentation.🤷‍♂️
All I can think of is that the pollen is so bad up here that wild yeast rode in on all the pollen.
Strange.🤣👍🥃

If you don’t have a berry patch handy, you can grow a yeast starter with just flour and water. After about five or six feedings with more flour and water you have a sourdough starter and it makes some nice spirit.

[@kiwiprouddavids724]

So you have gathered your own yeast?

[@Johannes4233]

Different plants will yield different varieties of yeast. I tried this few years ago with a bunch of different berries/flowers etc. and surprisingly rhubarb was the best one. It definitely smelled like pure yeast, the exact same you'd get from a storebought package. I'm guessing the acidity also has to do with it since yeast likes acidic environments but the unwanted bacteria and mould can't survive those conditions that well.

[@dannydowell9979]

it would be good to know. sooner or later we might need to know that.

[@kensparks4405]

I think the responses are clear, we need a series on natural fermentation. Plus if you could show the end result of capturing the yeast from the berries. Thanks

Overwhelming response for it. I'm planning to do the series with a wild pawpaw Brandy. I just have to wait on the pawpaw's. As far as the end result of the wild berry yeast, it was great I used the wild yeast to make this mountain brandy. th-cam.com/video/b4Z4yZlTklE/w-d-xo.html

So can keep it for a long time and just add back as I use it.
