Provenance
"Seljeset got the yeast from his father in the 70s and has been using it ever since. He has never mixed it with any other yeast. He calls his brewery 'Stalljen' (means 'stable') because it's in the house that used to be the stable on the farm. Some people spell it 'Staljen', but that's wrong. Many write his name as 'Stig Staljen', but this is doubly wrong. He has given yeast to Olav Sverre Gausemel sometimes, see #18."
