I must be the only one
|

Am I the only homebrewer that doesn't go around memorizing the catalog numbers for yeast? Every single yeast thread I see has people ranting or raving about yeast and I never know which one they are getting all excited about, cause they always just put down a damned number. USE WORDS, PEOPLE!!!!!
Ok, rant over. Feel free to respond with multiple references to various yeasts using only the catalog numbers just to get under my skin.....

I'm with you BB, that's what they make a chart, or a smart phone. I have limited data storage space between my ears.
And I would never dis you, you have saved me countless $ with your "yeast washing" tutorial.

some of us don't have LHBS who do much in the way of yeast, so it pays to know the catalog number so you can ask them to order the stuff in 
I'm lucky to find anything beyond standard Lalvin EC-1118, Safale-04 or Nottingham Ale. When one of the health food stores here got in a few packets of Lalvin-71b I jumped on it; finding a decent red wind/cider yeast is nigh-on impossible here. |

You are not alone. The only two numbered ones I know are S-04 and S-05. |

I only use Wyeast, and only use 1056, 1028 and 2124 on a regular basis. It's not that hard to memorize 3 numbers.

Yes, and 1056 is pretty much 001 or 05 though I really like 1272... |
