i'm going to brew a clone Rogue Dead Guy ale. recipe calls for wyeast 1764 pacman. my lhbs doesn't sell that yeast (and says they can't even get it). they suggest wyeast 1056 as a substitute.
i see i can order 1764 from rebelbrewer.com for $6.99 . . . . or i can buy 1056 from my lhbs for $6.25.
does anybody know of another substitute to 1764 pacman yeast? there's really no risk in my ordering it from rebelbrewer.com (other than i've never ordered anything from them before). or am i making a mountain out of a molehill?
are there other yeasts that are better substitute?
thanks.
