Jim has an axe to grind, but Wyeast is putting out some bad belgian
yeast IMOHO. I still use Wyeast, but not some strains.

I think this is the one carried by the local homebrew shop here
in NM. Demand is low, so he only special-orders other strains.
I believe this is the one that produces those disgusting banana
beers (and headaches) in local competitions.
Tastes NOTHING like my chimay red culture beers.

A friend of mine (Mark Groshek of Denver) did a mean Duevel
from a bottle culture. If this is the bottling strain, it
may be a fine yeast. Don't worry too much that its only 1 of 2
my $0.02
