Do you lot have any favourites to harvest yeast from? I've done it before with Kernal, and it worked fine. Apart from "make sure it's bottle conditioned and bottled recently", any other tips?

Not done it for a while but I always used to use Worthington white shield and fullers Bengal lancer or 1845.
 
I used white shield yeast for many years but then it disappeared for a few years When it resurfaced it appears it was now seeded with a priming yeast. I only tried it once and it didn't turn out well. The Fullers yeast works well
