Starter gone bad
I did a starter with California Ale Yeast WLP001 with my stir plate. I had to leave town for several weeks and forgot to transfer it to a sealed container for long term storage.
This was the result: https://imgur.com/a/br0Ju5q

If you use this yeast so much and like it, why don't you just use US-05? Cheaper, easier to use, and it keeps for years (not weeks). Two packs for less than one pack of WLP001 and more than 4 times the number of cells, with the added bonus that you don't have to worry about aeration.

They are a little different. There's a exBEERiment on these two.

Are you trying to say that the difference makes enough to matter?

It's the same yeast.
