Interesting...but that is twice in a week that you've had something about weevils. Coincidence? :roll:

Interesting ... but I'm not that far "out there" to try that.

But Robert is right .. the spiciness might make for a great Belgian.

Interesting. I might have some ancient yeast between my toes that I can use! :lol:

What a great marketing ploy.

I actually had a bottle conditioned beer that was made with yeast. I picked it up on a visit to Universal Studios as it was brewed to promote the Jurassic Park ride. I bought it with the intention of trying to harvest the yeast from it, but instead sent the bottle to White Labs a couple of years ago. They couldn't get it to grow though. I was hoping it could have become a platinum strain or something.

Never did get to try the beer though. Only bought the one bottle...
