Your fav yeast for British pale ale

[OldSole]

I am worried about oxidation with all the extra headspace (?).

Not an issue for primary fermentation due to CO2 production. Don't even worry about secondary. Just primary for 3-4 wks then bottle/keg. I use 5 gal carboys as primaries for all of my 3 gal batches.

Dunno if you plan on bottling or kegging, but I use 3 gallon kegs for the small batches. If you have 5 gallon kegs, you can purge them to minimize the amount of O2 in the headspace.

I've been using WLP013 London Ale for bitters. I've been pretty happy, but then I've been drinking a lot of the results.

I like S-04 a lot. I also like Wyeast 1335 and WLP007.

Are Wyeast 1098 and WLP002 essentially the same? If not, what is the Wyeast equivilent of 002?

According to Jamil's yeast page (http://www.mrmalty.com/yeast.htm#Wyeast_vs_WLP) Wyeast 1098 is equivilent to WLP007 (Whitbred). The Wyeast equivilent to WLP002 is Wyeast 1968.
