Yeast Strain Comparison Chart (White Labs, Wyeast)
This info was put together by Kristen England. He says, "I tried to get the exact
source of each breweries yeast and if I was confident I was correct I
put the original brewery. If I have evidence of a yeast strain
but NOT am not 100% confident I put my idea and a '?'. If you have any questions, comments or
input please let me know."
