2nd brew...yeast for brown ale ?

[hd4wes]

I'm about to order my 2nd extract kit. Big River Brown Ale from Midwest. My first batch, still in the primary, was their liberty cream with Safale us-05. I went with a dry yeast to keep it simple. I'm wanting to use dry yeast with the brown ale too, but I'm wondering if the Safale s-04 will be the right choice. Seems like it's a special yeast for cask conditioning. I will let it ferment in the primary for 3 weeks, and then bottle. Will this yeast be right for me, or should I step up to the London Ale Wyeast activator.

S-04 would be fine.

Have any access to White Labs?

Nottingham is a good ale yeast.

for a brown ale, i'd go either nottingham or s04, depending on which i had in my kegerator storage at the time
