Yeast Substitution for Oatmeal Stout
« on: November 16, 2015, 07:58:09 pm »
Hi All,
 I was looking to brew the oatmeal stout listed below this weekend but I may not have time to get to the LHBS to pick up the yeast listed. I have some dry yeasts available and was wondering if any of these would be suitable for the recipe listed:

8 lbs Maris Otter (Baird's) (3.0 SRM)
1 lbs Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM)
12.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM)
10.0 oz Pale Chocolate Malt (200.0 SRM)
8.0 oz Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM)
8.0 oz Black Malt - 2-Row (Briess) (500.0 SRM)
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM)
2.0 oz Chocolate Malt (Simpsons) (430.0 SRM)
2.00 oz Willamette (Yakima Valley) [4.40 %] - Boil 60.0 min
1.0 pkg British Ale II (Wyeast Labs #1335)

I have some S04, some Nottingham and some S-05. Can I substitute one of these for the #1335 or should I try to get to the brew store? (I brewed it previously with the 1335 and liked the flavor).
Thanks.
Jeff

I think you answered your own question there. I'd make the trip for the yeast I like. Right?

I doubt 05 would come close. 04 is at least in the same league. But if you want to be in the same ball park you'll need the same yeast
