Bavarian Yeast Strains

[Owenbräu]

I'd like to get our own data on yeast strains. Kristen England is the last person I want to quote in this book, but we will ultimately have to talk about specific strains, their origins and their performance.

That said, I feel like 833, 835, 838 and 860 are well accepted bavarian strains, but it would be nice to have our own confirmations. 830 is one I would like more information regarding. I know it is most referenced by Weihestephan as strain 34/70 (there is also 34/78), however, I have seen it referenced as bavarian (S. German), bohemian (Czech) and carlsbergian (Denmark). Narziss's favorite strain is the Carlsberg strain, but that is very generic. Technically, any lagers yeast can lay claim to being the Carlsberg strain, as it is the first and original lager strain isolated. However, different strains have been developed over the last 120 years from that.

Where did N mention this? Have you got a link?

Jeff Rankert (who I generally trust but this could be wrong) claims it was in an OCB article:

I wouldn't put this in our book without a better reference.

What is OCB? Can we find that article?

So few strains to try, so much time. Wait, reverse that...
