WLP001 vs WLP007?

[Bubbles]

I've got an ale recipe that I really like and I've always used US-05/WLP001 in it, but this time I'm going to ferment it with WLP007, the dry English ale yeast.

Looking at the stats, the WLP007 can have less attenuation, so I'm thinking of reducing the crystal malt in the recipe as I want to retain the same level of sweetness and body.

Anyone recommend this? Should I change my mash temperature too?

Cheers.

Ive used 007 in stouts & ipas. It doesnt finish that low at all. 1.012 is as low as its gone for me. Thats with pure o2 aeration & temp control. I like it as a strain. Have yet to use wlp002 as I can never seem to get a vial of it.

Thanks for the comments. A couple of posters on JBK said that same thing actually. The WhiteLabs stats for the two strains are:

WLP001: 73-80%
WLP007: 70-80%

Will give it a go anyway.
