.25oz Simcoe dry hop
.25oz warrior dry hop

.5 tsp yeast nutrient 15 mins
.5 tsp irish moss 30 mins

WLP 007 Dry english ale or wyeast 1335


i have absolutely no idea which one to use and i also thought golden promise was a mash grain not a steeping grain but it says to steep it in the second recipe

anyone have any thoughts on which would be more accurate/tasty??

I don't have a good answer, but here is a recipe that is based on Furious from Northern Brewer.

It seems like the first recipe is a little simple. Less hops would make the kit cheaper and possibly more marketable. I would go with the BYO recipe.
