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

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.
