Using Brigalow Yeast to finish a beer?

[Ester Trub]

I'm after some advice on whether or not I should use Brigalow yeast to finish a beer.

I've made a few high grav Belgian beers, re pitched slurry from previous batches, but they have stalled at 1.020.
I've warmed them up a little and given a good stir to rouse the yeast, but not much happened.

I usually only use liquid yeasts, or the occasional us-05, but i'm out at the moment.

I was thinking of pitching some cheap Brigalow yeast from the supermarket, just to finish them off, but i'm afraid it might impart some bad flavours and ruin the beer.
Normally I would avoid this stuff like the plague.

What do you reckon?

Are you having a laugh?

Is this a wind up?

Are you serious, you cannot be serious...(yelled in some US tennis players whining voice).

Is that a pink elephant I see out of my window?

Is that a pig flying by?


On topic, and seriously, I don't know, but there must be better ways to rouse your yeast than to chuck a Brigalow at your brew?

Interested to see the views of others.

Yeah. Fair enough. I don't know what I was thinking!

Truthfully, I'm just being lazy. I could drive to my mates house or LHBS to get some 05, but figured if the Brigalow wasn't going to do any harm I'd just use it since it's there.
