As I checked out the new URL for
dmtaylor's yeast chart in
this thread, I noticed that Fermentis has a new German wheat strain, the aptly-named W-68.
A quick google turned up several online retailers in the EU and UK that carry W-68, but none in the US. I went a bit deeper and checked individual sites like MoreBeer, RiteBrew, etc., but didn't see it listed. I emailed RiteBrew, my go-to supplier for dry yeast, and their reply was that they "don't have any information on that strain."
Has anyone seen W-68 for sale in the US, or does anyone have information about its availability outside of Europe? I've used the usual dry strains for Weizen (Munich Classic, MJ, Mauribrew, even T-58), and am eager to try this one as well.
