Hello,
I am looking to brew a dry stout this weekend, and looking at my yeast stores, I have a few choices. I have tried WLP 004 in the past for oatmeal stouts, but I don't think it will get dry enough with that. I have a vial of WLP 006 Bedford Ale, which I believe is the yeast used to brew Youngs. It looks like it is a high attenuator from the White labs website, but I have not had any experience with it. Anyone have any success with this strain for dry beers? I also have 04 and 05, and notty on hand, but after hearing about the problems with Nottingham, I may just avoid that yeast. Thanks.
