Re-culturing yeast

I've re-cultured yeast from bottle conditioned Coopers Pale Ale before, using a fairly simple method similar to the one described here. It went well, but for some reason, didn't do it again. Perhaps because I didn't really think the resulting brew was that fantastic. I don't know. Anyway, I am building a stir plate (more on that later) so have selflessly been trying various bottle conditioned ales to see which ones might have interesting yeast in them, and have settled on the following to try;

Fullers 1845
Gales HSB
Morland Hen's Tooth
Samuel Smith Stingo
Shepherd Neame 1698
Thwaites Nutty Black
Youngs Special London Ale

Once dry January has finished, of course!
