Scottish Ale Yeast - Dry alternative

[Notlaw]

Reet chaps, looking at doing a Scottish 80/- Export ale, but I'm after a dry alternative to WLP028 if possible. Was thinking of Danstar Northern Brown Ale. Any thoughts?

Do you mean Windsor=Northern Brown? If so windsor is not dry at all it only attenuates to about 70%. Nottingham or US-05 are dry and attenuate to 80%+ they're not an exact equivalent dry yeast but there the best you'll be able to do I think

Sorry, wasn't Danstar, it's Mangrove Jacks Newcastle Dark Ale.... Had a wobbler there.

I think that yeast is a medium attenuator.

I was pleased with danstar west coast bry 97. One of the lowest FGs I've had, not quick though.

A bit like a good lover - slow but thorough :-)

I used Salfale british Ale yeast in my 70 shilling. It looks to have turned out OK. Ive just made a brown ale from a kit with MO3, Im not sure if it would give you they taste of an export.

Ive just been looking at Mangrove Jack yeasts, and seen M15. Have a look it may suit you better. Its called empire yest.

From what I've read, the M15 Empire yeast is just the newcastle dark repackaged

So the same as MO3??

Yes. From what I've read a couple of the other are just repackaged too

Liberty bell = Burton Union
New world strong = Brtish Ale

I think one of the European yeasts (perhaps one of the belgian ones) is a repackage but can't remember which one

Cheers for the info MyQul.
