W34/70

Some people say it's the most widely lager yeast used in Germany.
Sadly, the catalogue scheme is proprietary to the yeast lab, and W34/70 is from the one used at the Hefebank Weihenstephan (HBW). Not all manufacturers tell you the equivalent strain, and there has been some confusion on Mr Malty which one it actually is (over the years the White Labs equivalent has changed a few times).
It's not a massive deal breaker, but I thought I'd rather "hear it from the horse's mouth", and the horse obliged.
Since people put pictures up from unpacking their laptops and whatnot, I thought it might be time to put something up for home brewers.
That's quite a lot of packaging for one vial!
