Nate or anyone else, I'm about to brew this up and after listening to the podcast concerning the rebrew, you mentioned possibly using an English Ale strain that attenuates well. I've got a slurry of wyeast west Yorkshire 1469 (which you also used on BTV's Big DIPA show) would you use it? If not I'll have to go with us05 dry yeast as I don't have time for a starter of American ale 2.
**Edited** brewed this up again a few weeks ago, and missed my mashed temp by several degrees (144ish) so I figured I'd better go with the wyeast 1469 in hope it wouldn't attenuate as much as us05 or Nottingham. Took a reading and sample today and FG is 1.015 and it tastes good for hot flat stout, but I'm sure it isn't a clone. This beer is fast becoming my white whale, next batch gets the real treatment, pacman and all.
Either way, hopefully this one tastes great with a few weeks of cold kegging.
