Wyeast substitute?

[Bluedog]

Hey guys, is there a good dry yeast substitute for 1318?

I believe that is Boddingtons yeast, I don't think there will be much of a sub.

you're right, it's the boddington's strain and there's no equivalent. it's a great yeast, makes a great bitter.

Thanks guys, how about another wyeast strain comparable to 1318?

1099 - Whitbread Ale™
1968 - London ESB Ale™
1275 - Thames Valley Ale™
1318 - London Ale III™
1335 - British Ale II™
1469 - West Yorkshire Ale

That list is direct from wyeast web site under their style guide.

those are all good ones. the whitbreads (1098 & 1099) are a bit cleaner and dryer that other english strains, but they all make a nice english style brew. of those^, i like the 1318 and the 1275, the 1968 makes a great beer, but is a bit finicky. i'd say if you're going for something like the Boddington's strain, but can't get it, go with either the 1968 or 1275, the 1099 would be my third choice of those. that said, the 1318 is great, if you can get it, use it.
