I am looking trying to recover some yeast from some beer. I have had a look around and have an idea of which beers are bottled conditioned and the ones that are definitely the primary strain.

My question is is there any way of know if the yeast in the bottle is the primary strain? or do you need to try and get in touch with the brewery?
 
The only way you can know for sure that the strain in the bottle is the same used for fermentation is if the brewery confirms it. There is a list somewhere of known ones, but I don't know where that is. Try the search function on this forum, I'm sure something will turn up...
 
I found this one which is helpful.

The reason i am asking is the i plan to brew the Burpak beers of the wold 80 shilling but i wanted to try and use a recovered yeast instead of using the kit/nottingham/safale.

Does anyone know of any good scottish beers that are bottled with the primary strain?
