Killer Brewing Strains
Are there "killer strains" of beer yeast as there are in wine yeasts?
-Al
RESPONSE:
Yes. There are killer strains in every genus and specie of yeast. Yeast are divided into three categories regarding the killer factor:
Immobilized Yeast, GMO, Cell Death, & Strain Numbers
If any of these are answerable, please let me/us know.

Creating a House Blend
Hi, long time lurker here. I am very interested in traditional brewing practices, and in researching the methods used in the past it is very hard to find information about yeast, primarily because brewers were unaware of its existence until recently. I would like a mixed strain yeast that I can reculture infinitely.

Beer Produced with Two Strains
According to beer writer Michael Jackson, the Belgian ale Duvel is fermented with two yeasts, both originally isolated by De Clerck from 10-20 strains in McEwan's Scotch ale between the wars. See http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-000020.html.
