Recently I made a generic stout using Wyeast London Ale yeast, rather than my usual Irish Ale yeast.

Ingredients:

9 pounds klages
1/2 pound chocolate malt
1/2 pound roast barley
1 pound 80L crystal
3/4 stick brewers licorice
2 ozs. fuggles
1 pound brown sugar
Wyeast London ale yeast

Procedure:

I used my standard infusion mash @ 152F, boiled for 90 min. with 3 hops additions, force-chilled and pitched. The yeast (a 1-qt starter) took 36 hours to take off, then pumped up to a nice krauesen.
