That's good enough for me, pending info to the contrary from the brewery.

Thanks Denny

We've established that 1450 is from North Coast. No one has proven that it's what they use in Old Rasputin yet. The brewery says they brew O.R. in the tradition of the original RIS, which hints that they perhaps are using an English strain. We wouldn't use the same logic (must be the house strain) to determine what yeast they use in their Saison... or a Belgian Strong,  or their Pilsner.

Based on the bit of experience I have with 1450 and having had an OR within the past couple weeks, I think it's a reasonable assumption that it is 1450.  It tastes like it, it feels like it.  No proof, but an educated guess.
I totally agree with this.

My two cent have nothing to do with the yeast. But I brewed a batch a couple years back following all the published recipes (I think they were all the same from BYO, zymurgy, etc) and it was NOT a clone. It was like a brown ale. Double check the numbers on your recipe. I did not until after and was disappointed.

Thanks Joe. But I'm not using anyone's recipe. And my imperial won't be an attempt at a clone. I just had a glass in front of me and surfed recipes. I was just trying to confirm or deny what I was getting from the beer. Can't be 1056

Cool.  You've inspired me to have an OR for lunch.  And I almost wore my OR shirt today, too.  Yes, I have one!

My broader point regarding the published recipe, if I had a broader point, was that it is so far off I am not surprised that the yeast would be wrong.

To be honest, having just had two sips, behind the roast and the hops I would be hard pressed to pick out the particulars of the yeast...

Yup! The English esters may be my imagination.

By the way, two emails to N.C. and no reply yet. Probably on vacation

It's settled. Old Rasputin is fermented with Wyeast 1450 Dennys Favorite (Brewtek CL-50) aka North Coast house ale strain, which is not English.

Just remembered.. Bill Pirce of HBD came up with a recipe called Rootin' Tootin' Rapsutin.  I brewed it for my 100th batch.  It's remarkably OR like.  I'll see if I can find it for ya.

Man, 1450 is great in big stouts. You'll love it. It's all I'll use in my non-Irish stouts.

Let us know Denny. I have spent 3 weeks building dinosaurian yeasts. I kept them when I got sick. Stepped 21 month old 1450 that is hungry. I will say, knowing you are a WY man, that every Old WY product rebounded w/o issue. Another brand was not nearly as successful. Sold on WY!

I drank 1 and thought to myself...hmm is that 1450?  Unsure, popped another, hmm is that 1450?
I have to say that if it is actually 1450, I want to bathe in it. Seriously, I’m not sure how a stout gets any better than this.
