Of franconian yeast

When I've asked various breweries over the years about their yeast they've all said they get it from a yeast bank or similar. I would hazard a guess that pretty much every brewery that brews on a "commercial" scale (meaning brewing more than just consumed in their pub) does the same. Have the yeast mutate or otherwise "go off" is just too big a risk. The infrastructure is there and it is not all that expensive (assuming you re-pitch).

A long time ago I remember Matthias telling me they got their yeast from Ingolstadt
