I don't know how big your stout is gonna be but WLP 007 gives a similar profile to WLP 002 but with roughly 10% more attenuation, if your OG is high it could be good for a dryer finish. I love the flavours these two produce in dark beers.

I agree. I think WLP007 will be best suited for your Imperial Stout.

It is rated as the best suited for this style by WL's.

Sorry to resurrect this one, but how well does WLP007 floc? Does it drop out as well as 002 or is there a trade off for the increase in attenuation?

 

[Spiesy]

002 floc's better.

Not much flocs better than 002. It's definately a lazy bastard though and leaves a lot of residual sweetness in my Bourbon/Vanilla Imperial Porter, which is probably what you want in that sort of beer.

I'm looking to brew this one without the bourbon and vanilla, and was looking for a yeast that would dry it out a bit more without going to the full on dryness of 001/05/1056. I think 007 may fit the bill.
