Hey all, I just want to know a few specifics about yeast itself. How does a yeast manufacturer say, "Hey let's make a new strain". What all goes into that? What is the intrinsic differences between Nottingham and S-04 and a wheat beer yeast? They must still be very similar since they are all under the general term of yeast. I want to know how this works. It is very interesting but how did they arrive at a new kind of yeast if they only had a certain amount of varieties before.
Basically what I want to know is how do you make a new yeast strain and can a homebrewer do it to tailor make their own strain of yeast.
