Which yeast for Dead Ringer?

I will be brewing up N Brewer's Dead Ringer soon. I know it recommends either Safale US-05 or WYeast 1056. I have some washed/harvested Safale I can use with a starter, or I can buy a new packet, or I could buy a vial of the liquid OR i COULD use the slurry from a 1-gallon IPA batch from Brooklyn Brewing's IPA 1-gallon all-grain kit. Which of those would you suggest? I'd rather not buy new yeast, thus I harvest/wash - which is the point of doing it. I have used plenty of washed yeast over the last 6-8 months with good results as long as I make a starter. If I used the all-grain Brooklyn Brewing slurry, I'd probably just bottle that the same day I'd make the D. Ringer, thus no starter on that one.

 

What yeast came with the Brooklyn ipa? Us-05 would work well.

 

+1 on US-05. I did the Dead Ringer with it and it was awesome.

 

Brooklyn Brewing packets don't name a yeast on the packet. It just reads "beer yeast." I even e-mailed them and asked what strain came with their oatmeal stout and they just said their yeasts are formulated for their recipes.

 

That sounds like a way that they can include whatever yeast they have on hand. Though they have a good reputation so they obviously don't use just any yeast.

OP, I would use the washed US05. Or 05 slurry.

 

I have been using harvested WY 1056. Final gravity for the extract version has been 1.008. I hold the fermentation temperature at 66° to 68°F. US-05 will also be a good choice, almost the same strain.
Keep the fermentation temperature above 65°F to prevent a peach off flavor with either of these yeasts, though the peach flavor would most likely be masked by the hops in Dead Ringer.
