THCers,
I have nearly finished my PhD, and have taken a job and am moving in December.  I am switching my brewery over to a lambic only brewery and no longer need the crazy yeast bank I have made.  So if you have access to a non-frost-free freezer, I will give you my yeast bank.  Below is a list of what I have.  I do not think this list is complete, but it may be.  Ideally if you want this you should have access to a -80 C freezer, as they are all in glycerol stocks.  Most of these were jacked from bottles of beer, however all are pure (with a few intended exceptions, noted below).  Each were taken into a sterile tube and then plated where a single colony isolate was used to generate a stock culture and then placed into glycerol.  The taker will also be taught my methods if they desire.  I can grow 3 trillion cells in 5 days.  Yes, I said trillion, that is roughly enough for 50 gallons of 1.050 beer.  This is perfect for the graduate student or some other lab
 oriented job.  Let me know, otherwise I will be disposing of the whole thing in December.

I probably should mention that the whole thing is in 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes in duplicate, so you are looking at taking two boxes of tubes.  It's really quite small.

Vondel (not pure, unknown)
