Wyeast 1945 NB Neo-Britannia
Northern Brewer's proprietary Wyeast strain.

http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/wyeast-1945-nbs-neobritannia.html

This traditional English ale strain works well for a wide range of beer styles, from low-gravity bitters and milds to strong stouts, porters, and old ales. Due to the cells’ chain-forming characteristics, it is an excellent top-cropping yeast. Moderate ester profile makes it a great match for hop-driven beers like bitter and pale ale, but attenuative enough to handle higher-gravity malty styles. Excellent flocculation yields clear beer and allows for cask-conditioning. Ferment at the lower end of the temperature range for a cleaner finish, or utilize the upper end to enhance low-gravity beers with a more assertive ester profile.

cheers!

I think I saw this mentioned in your add in BYO right? Am thinking about it for my share of a porter the club is brewing this fall in our 100 gallon kettle. I'll have to figure out something else to order to spread the shipping out.

Very cool! Could someone go into more detail on the level and type of esters produced? Like stonefruit, apple/pear, woody, etc.. Might be too early to tell but that would be helpful in deciding whether to try it.

Are you planning on carrying this yeast permanently, or is it seasonal? Very informative video, BTW!

Definitely going to try this one. I would like to here more about the poor man's cask in that video as well. What is attached to the gas out post?

What FG does the Wyeast 1945 typically finish at? I made the Oatmeal Stout partial mash kit from Northern Brewer, it seems to have finished at 1.016, is this normal for this yeast? It fermented at a low temp, it was about 64 degrees today when I took the gravity reading.
