I'm preparing to build a yeast bank of a few key strains that I can use on all of my brews. With a Witbier strain aside (because I understand it's hard to store these for any amount of time), what would be a good selection? I have WLP029 and Wyeast 1084 fermenting away right now in different beers, and am about to bottle harvest some Pacman from a Rogue Shakespear stout bomber. If I harvest all 3 of these well, could this round out a good variety? The only one I don't know about is the 1084, as the Wyeast website doesn't say that it's suggested for ESB and Pale Ales, which I'm a huge fan of. Any thoughts? Anyone bottle harvest a "british" yeast?
As a point of curiosity, anyone say Screw It, and just throw Pacman in everything? Seems to work for Rogue.
