What Yeast(s) should I use in a Brown Ale

[Calder]

Northern Brewer had a promotion (still going until the end of today) where you get a free Big Mouth Bubbler with the purchase of 2 kits. Seemed like a good deal, so I now have 2 Brown Ale kits coming. I didn't get any yeast as I have plenty.

These are the first kits I've bought in years. Think I'll do them, as is, for the hell of it. My thoughts are to split it into 4 x 2.5 gallon batches and pitch a different yeast in each to see the difference.

Big question is: What yeasts to use?

Thinking of a US yeast (PacMan), Belgian (Chimay), Brett (Claussenii). Not sure what else to use. I am using Essex yeast (WLP022) going right now, so could use some slurry.

Sound like a good plan? Anyone have other Thoughts?

I like to use Munton's Premium Gold (Dry) for my darker ales (Amber, Porter, Stout). It gives more of a UK type of taste. I have also used the Danstar Nottingham Ale (dry) listed in the drop down for the Nut Brown Ale with good success.

I've never used it but that WLP022 should fit the style just fine, a good healthy repitch and you should be golden!

I really like Wyeast's London Ale #1028. It makes a rich, clean brown ale.

WLP037 is a favorite for Nut Brown Ale

I have had good luck with the WLP028 Edinburgh Ale. I have a brown on tap now that I fermented with it.
