substitute for 1028 london ale in sweet stout

Mon Nov 10, 2008 5:58 am

howdy,
i may've pitched too hot or killed the yeasties trying to make a starter. in any case, if no fermentation starts in my sweet milk stout after ~3 days, i'm going to repitch. this is an extract kit from northern brewer. it came with wyeast 1028 london ale yeast.

the replacements i have lying around are:
safbrew s-33
muntons general yeast
wyeast 1056 american ale

are any of these reasonable replacements?

cheers,

Munton's is kind of bready and not terribly attenuative IIRC, so that might fit well.
S-33 is the Edme English strain and should be decent for anything English. 1056 will accentuate hops and minimize malt, probably not what you want with this beer.
What's on tap: Cream Ale, Imperial Blonde
Secondary: British Amber,
Primary: APA
