Looking for a yeast substitude

I think the only way to get pac-man is to culture it from a bottle of Rogue! It's their proprietary strain! I've never used it, but I believe that it is basically a super wyeast 1056, so if you don't want to grow it from Rogue dregs, that would be your best bet!

If you are looking for the high attenuation that Pacman appears to have, I would use the Chico Strain (S-05/WY1056/WLP001).
Pacman yeast is released periodically as a VSS from Wyeast (1764).

I think the brewing network "can you brew it" said that nothing is very close, but 1272 will fool most people, or something along those lines.

I'd use good old notty. Very neutral and highly attenuating.

You can never go wrong with US-05 in an American IPA.
pacman is available at many online HB stores.

Also, my LHBS did not carry it (or know they could get it) until I emailed them yesterday. The emailed back saying they'll have some by Friday.

You can normally find pacman online if you are willing to wait for shipping.

I think I saw on brewers outpost website where you can get pacman. They also have a bunch of rogue kits

I would just culture it from Rogue. For the price of the yeast, you can have two beers, and the yeast!
Plus, it's fun and rewarding to do it this way.
