Is this just for one strain of yeast? They seem to have loads on offer?

[Hop Bomb]

The only yeast Ive talked to them about was this one & the wholesale price is for a pack of 25. Maybe see how we get on filling this & if we fall short I can ask him if they'd split packs to make up the order of 25.

Im going to stick Biertourist on the list provisionally as it was himself who was looking for the yeast originally.

Some information to chew on regarding the parenthood of this yeast,
Quote
A few brave souls, including yours truly, allege that Conan is derived from the pitching yeast that Ballantine used at the large malting and brewing operation in Newark, New Jersery. All of Ballantine's ales were brewed at this complex. Ballantine had a smaller brewery in Newark where it produced "Ballantine Beer." Both of the Ballantine strains are held in the NRRL culture collection. Here are the NRRL ascension numbers and data for the two known Ballantine strains:

Y-7407 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Meyen ex E. C. Hansen (1883)
G.W. Lange, Ballantine, New Jersey BR, Beer pitching yeast   

Y-7408 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Meyen ex E. C. Hansen (1883)
G.W.   Lange, Ballantine, Newark, New Jersey BR, Ale pitching yeast

There is growing evidence that points to Y-7407 being the parent of the Chico strain. Sierra Nevada obtained their pitching yeast (BRY 96) from the Siebel Institute of Technology. BRY 96 is from a brewery formerly operating on the East Coast brewery. There was only one major ale brewery on the East Coast; namely, Ballantine. It all makes sense because Chico ferments clean enough to produce a psuedo-American light lager. Chico is known to throw sulfur. A few us believe that Conan is derived from Y-7408. In fact, the result of fermentations conducted with the Y-7408 culture that Al Buck revived from lyophilized (freeze-dried dormant) form pretty much match those of Conan.

BRY 96

This is a flocculent top fermenting ale yeast from a brewery formerly operating on the East Coast of the United States. It produces a very clean ale flavor which has been well accepted in a number of breweries.

With the above said, the good news for non-yeast geeks is that Al has made both of these strains available in liquid form. His company is called East Coast Yeast. Y-7408 is being sold as ECY10 Old Newark Ale. Y7407 is being sold as ECY12 Old Newark Beer.

ECY10 Old Newark Ale
Sourced from a now defunct east coast brewery, this pure strain was identified as their "ale pitching yeast". Good for all styles of American and English ales. Top fermenting, high flocculation with a solid sedimentation. Suggested fermentation temp: 60-68°F. Apparent Attenuation: 68-72% Resurrected from a freezed-dried deposit library, this pure strain of S. cerevisae is NOT the rumored Chico strain.


ECY12 Old Newark beer
Sourced from the same defunct east coast brewery as ECY10, this pure strain was used as their "beer pitching yeast". The strain has been identified as S. cerevisae, hence it is not a true lager strain, but should ferment at lager temperatures. Could this be the parent strain of Chico? Suggested fermentation temp: 58-68°F, Apparent Attenuation: medium

here is a guy who cultured up Conan yeast from Heady Topper
