WHC dried yeasts

[Rakey]

I often wondered if some of the CMLyeasts were manufactured by WHC.

They will be repacked blocks, but probably from various different suppliers, this could include WHC, Lallemand, Fermentis, but more likely to be AB Biotek, Niche or AEB Brewing

Mango madness is my ‘house yeast’ now. Pitch at higher temps and it’s all over with in 2 days. Bright beers, slight fruity notes.

They are their own strains.

Currently dried by a specialist third party.

Yes it is a complicated and expensive thing to do, however not as much as it was 5 years ago.

Good to know!

My HBS has just started selling these yeasts... I think they are Lallemand yeasts with a different more jazzy name for the UK market.

Refer to @Rakey's replies above - they're not repacked yeasts. He would know:

Could they be paying someone like Lallemand to dry their yeast for them, like WLP were doing?

No they are not.

So I assume the above means they are using a 3rd party that’s not Lallemand?

My original question wasn’t whether they are Lallemand yeasts, it was if “someone like Lallemand” was drying WHC’s yeasts for them.

Correct, not dried in-house (at this time), and not done by Lallemand.

I wish they'd do a dry Helles Fire Club. It's absolutely brilliant.
