From German brewing and more
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

WY2007
- origin: Activator pack
- first cultured: April 2007

- 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.
