I'm about to try culturing yeast from the leftover stuff in the bottom of an Orval bottle and I'm a little confused on where to start.
I've read a bit and there seems to be two methods that everyone follows: 1) Create a yeast slant or agar plate using traditional methods and create a starter in the usual format or 2) Simply swirl the last ounce or so of the beer in the bottle capturing the cloudy part and pitch straight into the starter.
From what I've read, it may take 3-4 days to get the starter going using the straight pitch method but it seems to be less hassle.
I'd really appreciate hearing what has worked best for everyone else.
Cheers,
Johnny
