Unidentified yeast

Have a friend doing his first brew today. It's a Pliny kit. He started brewing and noticed that the kit contained no yeast. He called me to see if I had any. I have a few batches going, but nothing that he could pitch on the cake of. Then I remembered that I had this packet that I was eventually going to pitch into the boil and use as nutrient. Only problem is, I have no idea what it is. The internet has been no help either. Anyone have an educated guess?

Looks like old Mr. Beer yeast, i.e. when they switched over in 2012. Current packets are white. See if there is a date code on the other side.

Made in EU though...

Looks like Munton's Premium.

They pack in 6 gram packets and would have been part of an extract kit probably.

:cool:

I think you may be right. I Googled 6g ale yeast and pretty much everything that cane up was Muntons.
