Safale 04 is the yeast you want for Hooky

Did Old Hooky in December 2009 using the recipe from GW's latest book.

I'm pleased with it. The yeast was S-04.

I'd stick with the Wheeler recipe if I were you, I've always been more than happy with the ones of his I have followed (Big Lamp Bitter, Burton Bridge Golden Delicious, Theakston OP, TTL).

+1 also for S04
