We brewers were always taught that lager yeast was first isolated in the mid 1800s.

I'm wondering how they came up with the 1500s for the origin of said yeast.

No doubt it was revolutionary. It's the epitome of the fermentation process.

So many stories, so little product to taste. The need for a new line is apparent imo.

1800s before they ISOLATED it but they had other processes before then where the yeast got where it needed to be. They just couldn't manually put it in from little baggies labled 'yeast'. I don't know enough to know how they got it in there but I have heard from brewers that back then they had tricks and techniques that caused yeast to end up where it was needed.
