Before people recommend WLP004 let me preface with I would prefer to use a yeast I already have on hand.
Out of these two strains, which would you choose: WLP001 California Ale or WLP028 Edinburgh Ale?
White Labs rates both as a 2 out of 4 for the style. I'm leaning towards the WLP028 because I think it will contribute some desirable esters. On the other hand I made a great dry stout with US-05 before but I used twice as much roasted barley as I plan on using this time around.
My recipe is quite simple. 73% Pale Ale malt, 18% flaked barley, 9% roasted barley, and 38 IBUs of US Golding all as a bittering addition. I will also be souring 3% of my wort to blend back in.
