WLP351-1

• origin: old While Labs vial
• first cultured: September 2006
• storage: slant and stab culture
• strain origin: Weihenstephan yeast bank W175, has likely mutated from that strain
• notes: This strain is behaving quite odd. If ferments way past the attenuation that other strains see as their limit of attenuation and it shows very poor head retention. It does however produce a nice strong clove aroma. Here is a blog entry mentioning this strain: Weissbier Experiment - Different yeasts

WLP351-2

• origin: given to me from a fellow home brewer
• first cultured: March 2008
• storage: slant culture
• strain origin: Weihenstephan yeast bank W175, I have not checked if this one hasn't mutated yet
• notes: White Lab's strain description: WLP351
