Irish Red recipe check

[captainL]

Wanted to run this by you guys for an Irish red. Pretty straight forward but a few questions.

recipe
5.5 gallons, est 70 % efficiency, 60 minute boil

9 lbs marris otter 86.2%
.5 vienna 4.8 %
8 oz crystal 40L 4.8%
4 oz crystal 60L 2.4 %
3 oz roasted Barley 500L 1.8%

Fuggles or EKG to about 24 IBU's @60

Does vienna have a place in an Irish Red?

Which grains should I use....American, or should I try to stick with german/english/anything not american? I think my local guy has a few options.

Marris otter - Haven't used it yet. I think my guy has crisp and thomas fawcett. Probably doesn't matter but does anyone have a preference in brands?

The real question is which yeast?
I have Kolsch 2565 slurry, a dry pack of Nottingham, washed US05. I don't have time to make a starter from a new yeast. I'm leaning towards Nottingham.

Any recommendations for water profile. I will be using RO and adjusting via EZ water and Bru'nWater to the appropriate Ph.


Thanks.

the recipe looks fine. i personally would drop the Vienna and just increase the Marris otter. imo nottingham would be fine. i just finished making a red with marris and a ringwood yeast cake i had with american hops
