Hello everyone.
My first brew is going to be a Irish Red Ale
It will be a partial boil
Recipe calls for
7lbs of ultralight malt extract (liquid, in a bag)
Steeping grains
1lb crystal 120L
8ozAbbey
8oz caramunich
2oz black roasted
2oz special b
Hops
1.5 northern brewer 60min
2oz willamette 1min
My yeast is white labs, liquid vile, Irish red ale yeast. WLP004
My question is. The brewstore that sold my wife the kit told her to get 2 yeast viles. The instructions on the viles say "1 "vile per 5 gallons"
Would it be detrimental to use 2 viles or should I only use 1? Can you over yeast?
Hope I gave enough info. If you need any more please let me know
Also if you think I should be asking anything different please let me know
Thank you in advance
