Can local cider barn yeast be moved?

[Christian Stolte]

Dear All,

Could anybody point me to a paper that supports the common cider knowledge that

95% of contributing yeasts to a spontaneous wild fermentation comes from the buildings and the equipment in those buildings, and cannot be moved to a new location

Thank you
Christian

Hi, 

Would also be interested in this topic.

I bought home an old apple pulper from France, a few years ago. Lovely piece of 19th c iron casting. It had over a century of use on Breton cider so I didn’t clean it up until after my first pressing, by which time I hoped that the dormant yeasts had transferred to my pressing cloths, carboys and building. I think there has been a distinct improvement since then, but I’ve no way of proving that that yeast transfer was the reason, unless some microbiologist out there is looking for a PhD topic on Breton yeasts in Ireland!

Regards

Olly

PS. Was stopped by customs on way home, who were convinced I was smuggling liquor as the car was well down with the load. Turned out he was a cider maker also, so we had a great chat while no doubt the other cars thought I was on my way to an orange jump suit.
