The new Verstrepen lab paper on farmhouse yeast (blog post introducing it) gives us a level of insight into these cultures that we've never had before. And one of the things it gives us is a much stronger handle on is exactly how many strains there are in each farmhouse yeast culture. (If you don't know what I mean by farmhouse yeast, see this example.)
