I'm planning on an extract and steeping grains sweet stout, so I went to a not so local HBS and bought pretty much one of every dry yeast they had.
I have Nottingham, Safbrew S33, Muntons, Muntons Gold, Safale US05, Safale S04, Coopers & Windsor.
However, none of these is the Irish ale yeast called for in the recipes. Will any of the above work? Or should just pitch some Coopers and call it a Porter? Or a very, very brown ale?
The recipe is 8 oz of Crystal 40L steeping, plus .25 lb each of chocolate & roasted barley, 1.5 oz. Kent Goldings 60 minutes, 1/2 oz. Kent Goldings 20 minutes, 1tsp gypsum and 2 lbs. of the dark LME at the start of the boil and the remaining 6 lbs. at 15 minutes. .5 oz Williamette as dry hop in the secondary
... fits nicely into a sweet stout profile:
OG: 1.056, FG: 1014, IBU 38, SRM: 50, AVB: 5.4
TIA
