A bunch of washed/harvested. I haven't gone all nerdlinger with the slanting thing, but might get into that someday...here's what I think I have:

New:
  • Notty
  • US05
  • S-23

  • Wyeast 1762 Abbey Ale II
  • Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen
  • Wyeast 1275 Thames Valley Ale
 
Slanted WLP400 that's old and needs to be re-started to see if it's viable.
2 packages of S-05
1 package Montrachet
1 washed Cry Havoc
3X22 oz bottles of Pacman cake awaiting repitching/washing.
 
S04 - use for Ruination clone
S05 favorite - use for all ales
Muntons - some crap that I will most likely never use leftover from the kit days
 
Oh, yeah, I have some Pacman washed from a Rogue stout...forgot about that one.
 
1 Muntons that I probably wont use.
2 Notty
1 Weihenstephan Weizen Activator Wyeast ACT3068 that I hope to use Thursday if the weather cooperates. Then I might have to try my hand at yeast washing and start collecting some.

Midwest supplies is like 10 mins away so I don't tend to keep too much in stock when it is so easy to pick something up.

I guess you weren't brewing when I was up there a couple months ago...

Well that must be nice. :)

year old vials of belgian ale and abbey ale from WL that my LHBS gave me for $1.
 
I've got maybe 3 oz. of Fleischmann's Instant yeast that I use for the bread machine.....oh, you mean BEER yeast!
Well, apart from that, I've got a Wyeast Activator of the Weihenstephan 3068 that I'm going to use to brew a batch of Hefeweizen next week. I've got a baggie full of the extra dry yeast packets that Midwest also throws in- Munton's, Nottingham, etc. As they move toward being out of date, I use them to bake bread. Good bread.

1 wyeast Trappist High Gravity
1 wyeast L.Bacillus
1 wyeast Brett Brux.
1 wyeast P. Coccus
2 Redstar Montrachet

i had to stock up for the next few batches :D
 
3 jars of WLP001
3 jars of WLP002
3 jars of WLP005
3 jars of WLP008
3 jars of WLP320

Enough to last a long time. To use, I take about 1/2 tsp from the jar and make a starter 24-36 hours before brew time.
 
This is a fun game :)

New
1 vial of WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast
Lots of dry stuff, S-04, S05, Notty and wine yeast

Washed/Harvested 3-4 pint jars of each
WLP002 English Ale Yeast
WLP005 British Ale Yeast
WLP400 Belgian Wit Ale Yeast
WLP830 German Lager Yeast

In Process
WLP041 Pacific Ale Yeast
WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale Yeast
 
I have two new dry yellow Nottis and I got my White vials out over the weekend because there was only one packet of 56 Chico between both the LHBSs here in town. I'll be ranching that, thanks.

In process I have a Wyeast 3056 Weistephan something under some Apple Jack. It is only a few weeks old, I'll probably pull a vial off the cake just for practice, I think the folks using malt with apples like the 3068 better.

And I should have a little WLP005 - Brit Ale yeast - under the keg of Amarillo Bomber IPA I have tapped right now. Imma put this one in my pull down, my friends are raving about it.
