I am looking at making a blonde ale. The recipe calls for WLP051 but I would like to use WLP001 (since I already have some harvested). Does anyone see that as being a problem? They both say they are California Ale yeast, so I figured they would be very similar. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys (and girls) ;):rockin:.
 
From White Labs' site:

WLP051 California Ale V Yeast
From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculent. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.
 
Cheap skate! Hell, in my blonde i used notty and it was what i wanted; neutral, subdued yeast flavor.

Cheers for us Cheapies! :mug:
