Not familiar with it, but I would think it's just plain old bakers yeast. Give it a try. Good find.

It's a strain isolated likely from sourdough that can break down the starches on its own before fermenting.
The still is not a liar. Mash and ferment quality is 99.9% of your performance.

Same additive as Allinsons Easy Bake yeast I use. Not had any problems so far so you should be fine.
