I have received one of my Christmas gifts early, the kit below.
http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/bourbon-barrel-porter-extract-kit-1.html
The kit came with one 11g packet of danstar windsor ale yeast. I looked up the yeast and found some people on here complaining that it finishes too high leaving the beer sweet. For this beer should I use the packet that came with the kit or should I dump the beer on top of a WLP001 cake from an IPA? I will be adding the bourbon so do I need the sweetness from the dry yeast to balance out the flavors? Or would I be better off using WLP001 trub from another batch?
Thanks
Paul
