WLP860 source

[General_Jah]

Anyone know for sure what brewery source this yeast is from?

 

[thehaze]

I read some threads, where it was said to be from Augustiner, but nothing has ever been confirmed. Maybe contact WL and see if they wish to reply?

 

[General_Jah]

thats a good call, I always thought it was augustiner but a buddy from my brew club says no and nothing online seem to really confirm its augustiner

 

[thehaze]

Yeah, that's also what I read. But maybe White Labs would be able to help? Although, they might be reluctant to tell the real source of the yeast. ( for the life of me, I don't understand that )

 

[General_Jah]

I reached out and will report back if they can give me the wink

 

[General_Jah]

White labs was kind enough to give me the wink and confirm it is indeed from the Augustiner strain. So to put this question to rest for future searches on the web WLP860 = Augustiner strain according to white labs. They did indicate there could be slight differences due to their processes etc but its close as we can get it

Well that was quick! Thanks for running this one down and getting confirmation right from the source.

 

[thehaze]

That sounds good.

Brew on!
