Wild yeast is used when brewing lambics and krieks. One must remember that all yeast was wild at one time in prehistory. One could start with this wild yeast, and over time, with whatever science and experimentation necessary, produce something as high quality as White Labs.

would you rather eat or drink something that is manmade or natural? For ex. manmade sugar or natural sugar?

@HubSwitch Also remeber certain yeast will not make certain styles of wine. For intance Sheery needs to be made with Flo Sheery yeast.  Also while a certain yeast like Pasture Red is for red wines, it shouldnt be used for making whites. You could but the results wouldnt be as good. Basicly when making wine we are looking for a consistant quality Product. Wild yeast do no supply that

@HubSwitch "ur just a sheep, not worth arguing with lazy people" As you can read he insulted me first. Also most wild yeast produce next to no alcohol and die out at around 3% if at all. Thing is thier is nothing wrong with ripping open a packet of Red Star Premier Cuvee wine yeast and using that. "Big Buissness" wine yeast arnt some Geneticly Modified yeast. They are just selected strains humans have been engineering naturally for 1000s of years Besides its only 60 cent a pack

@HubSwitch Yes those yeast are used to a VERY small degree. I think even i Europe they are considered by the majority to just be a spoliage yeast

@Adol666

can impart "sweaty saddle leather"barnyard"burnt plastic" or "band-aid" aromas to wine. Some winemakers in France and occasionally elsewhere consider it a desirable addition to wine e.g in Château de Beaucastel but New World vintners generally consider it a defect..

Hmmm, quite interesting! and I am sure if you would have asked him to search on the yeasts you mentioned he too would be a little wiser?

I am sure you are too..

Happy brewing :o)

@Adol666 Brettanomyces bruxellensis plays a key role in the spontaneous fermentation of typical Belgian beer styles such as Lambic, Flanders red ales, Gueuze, and Kriek. It competes with brewer's yeast, as well as other microorganisms, in fermenting the wort, and gives the beer a distinctive taste, which is a desired part of the style.In the wine industry, Brettanomyces bruxellensis is generally considered a spoilage yeast and is often referred to as brett. Its metabolic products

@Adol666

Morons are people who know things but dont use that info to better them selves, or others.

I don't know about what you have said here about using wild yeast for wine making, I was actually wanting to try this myself. I would hope that others who also "know" about wild yeast could be more constructive and helpful rather than demean and ridicule those wishing to better their "know how" it takes time to learn stuff properly, even longer, or not at all when made to look like a fool.

@boxa888 Its Obvious you know nothing about the different strains of yeast and that some yeast like Zygosaccharomyces and Brettanomyces Produce Alcohol but also produce an array of metabolites when growing in wine, some of which are volatile phenolic compounds making the wine taste or smell nasty. Go on any home wine making forum and tell them how you use random wild yeast to make alcohol and you will be laughed at like the moron you are.

@Adol666 ur just a sheep, not worth arguing with lazy people. maaaahhhh. hope u prepared!!
