I'm trying a dried yeast in the porter I've got brewing now. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.
I'm using US-05 (2 packs) in a bourbon stout. It's working very nicely, steadily. My OG was 1.110. I've also used T-58 to very good results for Belgian golden and strong ales.

No. Never. Everything out there says that yeast drives the beer, not the other way around.
So, you dont go for the fact that the commercial brewers used the same yeast over and over, this then produced the 'house character' of the brew. Thus if you take a neutral type dried yeast, re use it , collected from one of your bottles, and if doing the same brew then over time,the characteristics of that beer will be carried by the yeast.
