Youre right. Its really more like 75%....

WLP007 fermented cool has great attenuation, great flocculation, and just a dash of ester character to make things interesting. FWIW, they say Stone's strain is a derivative of 007.
I'd worry 1968 wouldn't get the attenuation you want, unless you're looking to finish really high.

>but getting the yeast choice right will be the difference between a good and a spectacular beer.
What's good or spectacular to one isn't always good or spectacular to another.
>Very wrong indeed. Very expressive (British) yeasts work very well in big Stouts, you could even look into the Belgian ones with British origin.
Did I say something indicating expressive yeasts don't work wellin a big Stouts? I don't disagree with that, though I would argue non-expressive yeasts can work very well in big Stouts as well.I personallylove 002 in Stout, I also personally love 090 in a Stout. With that grain bill, the difference between 007 and 001 will likely be difficult to distinguish, in my opinion. Maybe Fullers would do something different, but in the end, I've a feeling Dan's beer is going to kick ass regardless of yeast choice.

mmm...debate...me like!
The reason I'm thinking 1968 is because that's the yeast that 3 Floyds supposedly uses and Dark Lord is one of my absolute favorite stouts.Posted 34 days ago.

I need to make another batch with that stuff...pretty sure i still have some in the fridge, anyways....
Though im not sure i can ferment it properly right now. I'd definitely have to take it upstairs.

Well, you are in a prison. And you got a pretty mouth. I bet you could find something T'F.

3711 barrel aged stout eh? Now that's a yeast choice that might matter. Sounds gross to me.
Kid, I'm tempted to do that, but I was unimpressed with it in an amber I did, so I'm not sure how well it works with caramel, roast, and sweetness.Posted 34 days ago.
He said you have a pretty mouth, Marshall. what more do you want?

Just did a Wheatwine with Vermont IPA (GY054) from GigaYeast, I'll let you know how it turns out.
I basically abandoned it to blow-off everywhere: just did my best to contain the mess. Even with a gallon of headspace and liberal amounts of Fermcap my carboy was erupting like a volcano--I don't think there's any way you can contain a high-gravity wheat beer :P

haha, I'm counting on this one being blowoff central too. Huge adjunct stout with british yeast? 5 gals would probably blow off in a 10 gal bucket.
