I thought it was Young's yeast.Not that this is necessarily accurate, but Kristen England's Yeast Strain Comparison Chart indicates that London Ale III is the Boddington's strain (despite the "London" Ale name). IIRC, I don't think the Milk of Manchester is even brewed in Manchester anymore...could be wrong though. In any case, I suppose what we would be more interested in is where the strain originated.What have we learned, gents? That disclaimers preserve one's credibility!

You mean 1968, of course.
1768 should be very similar to Fuller's.
Wyeast 1768 PC English Special BitterA great yeast for malt predominate ales. Produces light fruit and ethanol aromas along with soft, nutty flavors. Exhibits a mild malt profile with a neutral finish. Bright beers are easily achieved without any filtration. It is similar to our 1968 London ESB Ale but slightly less flocculent.

Speaking of Kristen England, it looks like he's the lastest of our ilk to go pro. I can't wait to try Pubstitute...sounds very interesting!http://heavytable.com/b-j-haun-and-kristen-england-of-pour-decisions-brewery/
Right, I could have sworn I've seen a VSS strain numbered 1768.
I've heard 1318 London Ale III is Boddington's and Young's is 1768.
