I have been culturing yeast as of late and am getting to the point that I want to be self sufficient from homebrew shops for months at a time. I brew 5-6 batches a month and 75% are IPA's. I also love stouts and porters and have been brewing some lighter stylers for BMC friends.

I plan to keep some packets of notty and us04, and 05 on hand for JIC situations.
I am already propagating Denny's favorite and plan to get wlp001 and wlp007. What other white lab liquid strains should I keep on hand?
 
If you start getting a bit more into english, belgian, or german/lager styles, it's fun to have the wyeast and white labs seasonal strains on hand. Wyeast 1028 or wlp013 wouldn't be a bad idea for what you tend to do, though.
