I used 1272 and I understand it's pretty similar. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Actually it's not that similar, but it's the yeast I used to develop the recipe. I later ran across what became 1450 and found I preferred it.

So Denny, what yeast strain would you recommend I use in Beersmith?
rosevillain said:I dry hopped for 10 days and it is the greatest beer that I've ever tasted.
Ok, so I'm gonna stick to 2oz of Columbus for the dry hops...how long do you let this beer age? Is it better young, like some IPAs? Or do you let it age out a bit?
