Provenance

"Bjarne Muri attempted to revive the family yeast at the farm of Muri, stored in an outhouse on the farm in 1992. It turns out, however, that the yeast that eventually grew in his starter was WLP 351, a hefeweizen yeast. His starter must have been contaminated, so this yeast really is just ordinary hefeweizen yeast."
