I'm impatient. Will I end up with some nasty brew?

[ChuckinWA]

Hey gents. I won a "Deadguy clone kit" at a local brewpub awhile back. It has everything but yeast. I need some Pacman, but, as I'd like to brew this weekend, I won't have time to get any. I do, however, have some WLP001 I washed from a Ruination clone last weekend.

You can see where I'm going.....

While I like Deadguy, I'm not overly concerned that my Deadguy clone be entirely like the real thing, in fact I don't really even care if it's close. I would like to make a decent brew of some kind however.

So what do you think - brew with the WLP001 or exercise a little restraint and wait to get some Pacman?

pitch that 001.

x2 for pitching. Pretty sure it will make beer.

Pacman can be hard to find, as it's only manufactured occasionally. Pitch what you've got.

Some folks (JZ) say that yeast from highly hopped beers shouldn't be reused, but if it's all you've got then go for it.
