I am going to have a nice slurry of whitbread yeast from a blond ale, and was wondering if it would be a good idea to use it with my IPA and my pale ale, both of which contain a lot of cascades and columbus hops. Would I be better using an american ale yeast instead?

Code:
IPA:
11 Gal, 72% eff.

19lb pale 2 row
3lb crystal 40
2.5lb munich
1lb carapils
4oz columbus @ 60
4oz cascade @ 15
2oz columbus @ 2
2oz columbus dry hop

And the pale is the same with a bit less grain and IBU
Code:
IPA:
11 Gal, 72% eff.

17lb pale 2 row
1.5lb crystal 40
2lb munich
1lb carapils
1oz columbus @ 60
1oz cascade @ 20
.5oz columbus @ 10
.5oz columbus @ 2
 
I guess I just read too much. I was reading through a guide to brewing IPA's and one of the big no-no's was never use english yeast with american hops. I figured I'd ask why as I brewed almost the same IPA previously with burton ale yeast and it was great.

I make a Mac & Jack's clone which is one of my most requested brews.. It uses cascades centennials and S-04 which I believe is the whitbread strain... Turns out great!
