I also have never used nottingham but have a pack of it. What would be best; nottingham or safale -05???

As far as hops go, trying plugging in your recipe here. I get an OG of about 1.063 and 30 IBUs. Another handy tool is this chart. And about the yeast, 05 and notty seems to be pretty interchangeable around here.

nottingham is great for IPA or PA!!!!

i tried that beer resipe calulator and there is no warrior or amarillo hops in the menu. I find it very hard to believe that all that hops would yeild only 30 ibu's

I get S.G. of 1.065 and 78 IBU's

Is that Munich malt an extract? if not it needs to be mashed

the munich and 60l are not extract, i was going to steep them for 30 min at 170F before starting my boil. sound about right???

Naw dude....Munich has to be mashed. It could convert itself but it will take a mash of about 60 to 90 minutes at temps in the 150's. They do sell a munich extract.

select any kind of hops, then later change the name and Alpha-Acid percentages. They equal 30 because you are adding a majority later, not through out, and because you have 8 lbs of malt extract to balance it. Take out the 3 lbs on the calculator and you'll see the IBU's shoot up compared to the gravity.

how about 1.5 oz of warrior at 60 in stead of 1 oz??

That will most likely put you in the middle-bottom bitterness for the style but the recipator knows all!
