Ye I will certainly use again. Only thing I'll do different is leave longer in the FV, as mine eventually ended up over-carbed. Other than that, cracking stuff and with more than a passing resemblance to the 1845 it was lifted from.

The fullers strain is notorious for over carbing

Glad I went easy on the priming sugar then.

You saw my thread on (purposely) overcabonating? Pouring the beer into a 2Ljug to knock the extra carbonation out will work

Yes I have been doing that with an over carbonated stout and it worked really well.

Brugse Zot, lovely beer sold now in M&S has a lot of yeast in the bottle.

Will add it to the list :thumb:
Tynt Meadow English Trappist Ale appears to be bottle conditioned. Wonder if they got the yeast from another monastery? Might be worth a punt, if I can find it.

All Hobson's - Old Prickly, Town Crier, Hobson's Manor, Shropshire Stout, Postman's knock, Old Henry.
The Old Prickly has chunky yeast like Fuller's that is hard to move then breaks into slabs. And I'm assuming it's the same in all of them because they write about it on the site:
The yeast, a classic top-fermenting ale strain, was originally sourced from Midlands family brewer Holdens but now imparts
a distinctive character to all Hobsons beers.
"“It’s a classic example of sustainability and circular production. We don’t buy any yeast in. It’s just recycled after every brew. It’s a completely unique ingredient to us and has its own flavour characteristics.”

I got a Beer 52 order where they sent me random beers, I got a lot of Boxcar/Beer 52 beers (they collaborated with the brewery to make these). There is some yeast in the bottles, as they are American style pale ales I assume it's US-05. I'm culturing it up now and will use it in an upcoming batch.
Well, it was his choice.

Had a Weird Beard gooseberry pale ale which was bottle conditioned. Is the yeast worth saving?

Ok will ditch it. I have a sour from them as well. Is that worth saving for anything? Name has slipped my tongue.

Not to be facetious or anything but, umm, sour beers?
