Yeast Bank contents

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 Lager German S34/70 origin: pack of fermentis S34/70 dry yeast first cultured: September 2008 storage: slant culture strain origin: W34/70, (based in name), most commonly used yeast in German lager brewing notes: Fermentis data sheet for S34/70 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 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 Ale (other than Belgian or Weissbier) German 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 British WLP002 origin: White Labs vial first cultured: 0ctober 2008 storage: slant and stab culture strain origin: Fullers notes: White Labs description: WLP002 American Weissbier (other than Ale or Belgian) 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 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.
