Your favorite yeast for Oatmeal Stout

[redalert]

Hey guys,

I plan on brewing a Oatmeal Stout hopefully this weekend and would just like some feedback on your favorite strain for this style and why? Thanks.

S-04 or S-05 depending on if you want english style or US.

I've used the Irish Ale, WY1084/WLP004 (Guinness); and it was good. But I haven't tried any other yeasts in an Oatmeal Stout so I can't really compare. I know the Guinness is a Dry Stout and an Oatmeal Stout is usually closer to a Sweet Stout but it still came out really well imo. I've used Pacman yeast in Foreign Extra Stouts...but that's a whole 'nuther aminal. I prob wouldn't use the Pacman for an Oatmeal Stout.

+1 on the WLP004. it's the way to go. i have an oatmeal stout that i'm enjoying right now made with WLP004.

I use only WLP002 English ale yeast for my Oatmeal Stouts.

I "pitched" a stout onto a WLP 005 British ale yeast and it came out great. I am making the same stout next week and will be trying US-05.

I like US-05 and WLP007, they are different, but both good!
