Wanting to do an Irish Red for my first and was looking at midwestsupplies's kit.
6 lb. Gold liquid malt extract, 12 oz. Caramel 40°L, 2 oz. Special B, 2 oz. Roasted Barley specialty grains, 2 oz. of hops, yeast, priming sugar and a grain bag. Irish Red Ale w/ Munton's 6 gm dry yeast.
I've read some bad things about Munton's, but I do want to keep my first batch a "dry" yeast (don't won't to worry about starters for my first..just want to pitch, or hydrate and pitch).
Anyways, which dry yeast should i use? I don't see Nottingham on their list to chose from, but would Safale US-05 work? Any other recommendations?
