Yeast substitute for Wyeast 1450-PC - Denny's Favorite 50

betelgeuse4721 · Feb 16, 2012

Hey all,

My LHBS only has white labs yeast vials, and I was wondering what a good substitute for Wyeast 1450-PC - Denny's Favorite 50 would be in that case.

Thanks!

I would use 'WLP051 California V Ale' if I had to substitute with White Labs.

Confirm what? It's not the same yeast, but it's in the same ballpark. Any American ale yeast ought to do. Hell, Notty wouldn't be too far off, either.

Denny posted in another forum that he thought the Notty gave the beer an "unwelcome tartness." He also stated that the 05 would be close, but perhaps make the beer "thinner bodied."
