→Julius Simonaitis's yeast
One yeast has been collected from farmhouse brewer Julius Simonaitis in Joniškelis, Lithuania. It's a communal yeast that's been shared among the neighbours since time immemorial. NCYC says the yeast consists of 5 different strains. Four of these are closely related, while the fifth is quite different, and is probably a completely different strain. All seem to be ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae''.
Julius pitches the yeast at 35C, and top-harvests it. He ferments 12-16 hours, depending on activity.
