I like your way of thinking, but have no answer. I'm curious what comes up.
To my knowledge, the following yeasts are all likely to be almost identical "equivalents": M31 = 1388 = WLP570 = WB-06. Next time you need one of these, look up prices and save a buck or two.
This is great information! I love using dry yeast...so much simpler than having to plan out making a starter...which I do, when necessary...but knowing I could BOMM with dry yeast? Win!

Well, it looks like he didn't find that any of those tested really stood up to 1388...if this is actually the same yeast, I presume it will perform much better than those other dry yeasts.
The specs on the wyeast 1388 say:
low flocculation, 74-78 attenuation, and 12 ABV.
On the back of the Mangrove Jack's M31 packet, it says:
High attenuation (82-88%), medium flocculation (3/5), and 10% alcohol tolerance.
If it's the same yeast, could the specs from different mfg.'s be so different?
Anyhow, I have both 1388 and M31 brewing in parallel meads right now, and I'll try to compare the end results when they finish fermenting.

Any updates on this?
The results are in the what's your favorite yeast thread.
Thanks! Lots of interesting reading in that thread.
