updated definition to include more formal name, "bioprospecting"
'''Wild yeast isolation''', sometimes known as ''"yeast wrangling''", or more formally [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioprospecting "bioprospecting"], refers to the process of catching wild yeast, and isolating it with agar plates as a pure culture. This article will also contain information on growing up a ''captured'' culture in wort rather than isolating yeast cultures on agar plates.
