This picture was taken after about 5 minutes of hard shaking. Looks like some sticky stuff...

What strain is that?  Still tubes?  I thought WL was done with those?

I've had ok luck laying it on its side to increase the surface area. Still pretty crazy.

That's how my Klassic ale was when I was trying to get it into some starter wort.  The majority flocs and packs down hard, but what remains doesn't want to sediment for sh!t after that.  I'm loving the results with it though!

That is WLP033 Klassic Ale from the Vault collection. I'm using it today in a regular old IPA to see if it does the biotransformation thing.

i liked the tubes better than the new packs, not sure why they switched

Wow, that is some crazy stuff.

FWIW, I loved the old tubes.  Glad I saved a couple dozen of them.

   Cost and durability.

Actually, it's primarily to reduce contamination risk. White Labs grows the yeast in the final packaging, then seals it off into the individual pouches for sale.

I still have a few as well. Great for refractometer samples, and for bringing salad dressing to work.
