Revision as of 02:38, 6 February 2011

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.

Lager

German

WLP830

  • origin: White Labs vial
  • first cultured: April 2008
  • storage: slant and stab cultures
  • strain origin: Weihenstephan yeast bank W34/70, most commonly used yeast in German lager brewing
  • notes: White Labs yeast strain description: WLP830

WLP800

  • origin: given to me by a fellow home brewer
  • first cultured: March 2008
  • storage: slant and stab cultures
  • strain origin: Pilsner Urquell
  • notes: White Labs yeast strain description: WLP800

WY2042

Gian yeast colony WY2042
  • origin: yeast samples given to me by a fellow home brewer
  • first cultured: April 2008
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: Miller via Carlsberg
  • notes: Wyeast strain description WY2042 - Danisch Lager

WLP833

  • origin: yeast samples given to me by a fellow home brewer
  • first cultured: April 2008
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: Brauerei Aying
  • notes: White Labs yeast strain description: WLP833

WY2206

Gian yeast colony WY2206
  • origin: Activator pack
  • first cultured: March 2007
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: Weihenstephan yeast bank W206
  • notes: Wyeast strain description WY2206

American

WY2007

  • origin: Activator pack
  • first cultured: April 2007
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: Budweiser, Anheuser Bush. I'm fairly confident that this is the AB strain after seeing a paper from Charlie Bamforth that used this strain (WY2007). He seems to be doing a lot of work with and for AB.
  • notes: Wyeast strain description: WY2007 - Pilsen Lager

WY2035

  • origin: Propagator pack
  • first cultured: November 2010
  • storage: slant culture, stab culture
  • strain origin: August Schell.
  • notes: Wyeast strain description: WY2035 - American Lager


Ale (other than Belgian or Weissbier)

German

WY1007

Gian yeast colony WY1007
  • origin: Activator Pack
  • first cultured: December 2006
  • storage: slant and stab culture
  • strain origin: Zum Uerige, Altbier brewery in Duesseldorf (Germany).
  • notes: Wyeast strain description: WY1007 - German Ale

WY2565

Weissbier

WLP300

  • origin: 6 month old While Labs vial
  • first cultured: February 2007
  • storage: slant and stab culture
  • strain origin: yeast bank Weihenstephan: W68
  • notes: White Labs description: WLP300

WY3068

Gian yeast colony WY3068
  • origin: activator pack
  • first cultured: May 2008
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: yeast bank Weihenstephan: W68, the most popular Weissbier yeast in Germany
  • notes: Wyeast's description WY3068 - Weihenstephan Weizen.

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

KLWB

  • origin: cultured from the dregs of a bottle of Koenig Ludwig Weissbier
  • first cultured: November 2009
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: bottle of Koenig Ludwig Weissbier
  • notes: I don't know yet if this is their primary fermentation strain or a different yeast that is used for bottling.

Belgian

Hennepin

  • origin: Fellow homebrewer, cultured from a bottle of Hennepin (Brewery Ommegang)
  • first cultured: April 2010
  • storage: slant culture
  • strain origin: bottle of Hennepin (Brewery Ommegang)
  • notes: not yet used
