The Yeast Bay

Our mission is simple: Provide commercially unavailable or rare yeast and bacteria strains to the homebrewing and craft brewing communities in high quality liquid culture.
Here at The Yeast Bay, we're all about adding value to the homebrewing and craft brewing communities by providing a rich diversity of organisms brewers can use to serve as the bridge between the wort they produce and the beer it's transformed into. One of our primary goals is to help brewers big and small develop new, unique sensory experiences for beer drinkers everywhere.
Bottom line: Brewing great beer is hard. Sourcing unique yeast and bacteria should be easy.
We're super pumped that you've come to check us out, and we can't wait to be a part of your brewing process. Welcome to The Yeast Bay!

Isn't that the same logo for White Labs?

The White Labs logo is a microscope.

AHHH...I just clicked on one of the tabs and it opened up a data page and it sure enough is White Labs!!!

ohhh... you know what threw me off was the vials and the labels look so similar when I did a google search. Actually, turns out that White Labs propagates their strains for them (contract manufacturer).

Check out the 'About us' page and see the bottom. It appears it's based on WL yeast but they obviously rape it and tweak it to their own.....just a guess.

I saw that...but it looks like White Labs is actually making this stuff. Click on "Brewers Yeast", then choose one of the types and click on that. Look at the label. It says "Produced by White Labs" and it even gives WL address in San Diego.

The types of brewers yeast they are offering sound pretty interesting too. I could see using their Wallonian Farmhouse yeast for an interesting Belgian style IPA................

Those yeasts intrigue me. I can see a couple of them being used by me this summer for Belgians and Saisons.

The Northeastern Abbey from the description sounds like it is the yeast used by "well known producer of Belgian style ales" Ommegong Brewery. Might have to try this as I may be doing a trippel down the road.
