What Does BRY Acronym Stand For?

[Protos]

There are BRY95, BRY96 and Lalbrew BRY97 yeasts (the only number designation in the Lalbrew range).

Does anyone happen to know what the BRY acronym stands for? The "Y" is almost certainly "Yeast" but what the other two letters might mean?

Not sure. Following. A couple of bad hypotheses which I believe are both FALSE:

1) Ballantine. But I think the yeast likely predates that brewery. Not sure.

2) Barm. Meaning that this yeast is a top-cropping ale yeast.

alot of times these referred to the code of the source, and the number was the sample/isolate number in the yeast bank.

unfortunately the source could be either a specific name, an alias/codename, or a location, i.e. Bruerie (on) Rhine.

you should ping Northern brewer, he knows alot of this stuff.

Brewing yeast?

I searched and found the "BRY" prefix associated with Siebel Institute yeast farm or lab.
I found a BRY-96 & 97.
Perhaps it is a naming or cataloging standard for Siebel

I'll ask...

That's my suspicion too.
Just BRewing Yeast and nothing more.
Not sure though.

I'm not steeling your face!

 

[GrogNerd]

I would have guessed BRettanomYces, but that would be wrong

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Yeah, BRY-xx are Siebel codes, I assume it stands for BRewing Yeast but never had that officially confirmed. All their brewing strains seem to have BRY codes though!

However Lallemand BRY-97 is not an official Siebel code, it's a made-up name because it's descended from BRY-96

“BRY means BRewing Yeast. All yeasts from the culture collection of the Siebel Institute of Technology start with BRY.

Maybe it originally was BRead Yeast?

If I were Molly, I wouldn't confess to the customers I "forget" anything related to my professional expertise

Thank you gents, the mystery is solved
