Yeast Strain Comparison Chart (White Labs, Wyeast)

Post by spkrtoy »

Found this on the greenboard:
Yeast Strain Sources (from Jamilz)
Yeast Strain Comparison Chart (White Labs, Wyeast)
This info was put together by Kristen England. He says, "I tried to get the exact source of each breweries yeast and if I was confident I was correct I put the original brewery. If I have evidence of a yeast strain but NOT am not 100% confident I put my idea and a '?'. If you have any questions, comments or input please let me know."

The one link downloads the spreadsheet for me (lower link) but the upper one must be accessed with Internet Explorer and must have Web Components Installed.

I regularly use Firefox so I'll just grab the spreadsheet for my personal records.
