London pride clone yeast

[paulgough]

I'm planning a London Pride clone.

I want to use an authentic yeast this time rather than a bog standard dried yeast.

Any suggestions?

When you use a good yeast, I presume it's worth keeping it. What's the process?

the most authentic would be to grow some Fullers yeast from a bottle or two of Bengal Lancer. I've used it for a Fullers ESB clone and it was a great yeast

I've heard that BrewLabs TV3 (Thames Valley 3) yeast is pretty close, see this thread...

Going to have a go at a London Pride clone with this in the near future. I'm pretty new to this yeast culturing thing, so not sure about how to keep it going.

I've come across a couple of places (like here) that reckon that Wyeast 1968 is the Fullers yeast if you don't fancy harvesting from bottles.

Whitelabs WLP002 is reputed to be fullers as well.

+1 for Wyeast 1968. Drops like a stone so no need for finings either.

Didn't know that!!
