Janet's Brown Ale?

How do you measure the IBU contribution from the hop stand?

In the recipe there is 1.50 oz. Cascade Pellet 6.00 0.0 0 min. If I treat a 30 minute hop stand of this 0 min addition as a 15 minute boil it would contribute about 10 IBU. Would the 60 min, 15 min and 10 min additions also have a significant IBU impact from the 30 min hop stand? Then I could easily end up with a beer with 70-80 IBU?

The short answer is, yes, you'll have 70-80 IBU's.
The long answer is, yes, you'll have 70-80 IBU's, but those bitterness units will have a different character that's hard to describe. It's somehow less bitter, but the IBU's are there. Also, I find that you'll get a different flavor from those same hops. The flavors are definitely similar, but they are not the same. You should try it because that's the only way to really know.

Amen. It's an awesome beer. Just brew it and don't worry. You'll be a rock star.

So, I've been getting ready to brew this recipe and was planning to follow it exactly, but a local brewery was kind enough to fill my mason jar with a fresh, healthy-looking pitch of their london ale yeast (WY1968). What do you think, will that make a good substitution?

It won't be Tasty's recipe, but it should be great. Go for it!

I'd definitely use, and consider mashing lower (148-149) or dropping some or all of the c-pils or both... Wyeast 1968 is an awesome yeast, but given the same parameters as Cal Ale, it won't attenuate the same. My .02
