This is a list of the current contents of the yeast bank I'm maintaining. It is mostly a reference for fellow club members. The strain origins are taken from Kristen England's yeast comparison chart hosted at mrmalty.com Some yeast descriptions include pictures of their giant colonies. Giant colonies are yeast colonies grown on thick agar which allows for the growth of a much lager colony than what is possible in normal petri dishes. LagerGermanWLP830
