I would recommend this yeast because it leaves a bit of residual malt behind. Extract can tend to leave a bit of residual sugar behind (sometimes too much) which is why I subbed in some corn sugar, if you use it put it in a 10min. If you don't want to use it the beer will end up around 6% with an estimated OG of 1.060. It's really up to you. I would recommend using 2 vials of yeast for this brew because the OG is a bit higher. If you don't want it spicy hop flavor sub out the Willamette addition for cascade. You could also use centennial instead of cascade. Let me know if you want to dry hop but I would do it with a couple ounces of cascade or centennial. I looked at the rise up red and it said it's pretty much all cascade and centennial. If the AA% is way off let me know and I can update it and send you a correction. If you can keep fermentation temps below 70F that would be ideal too, especially if it has been hot in the "Hood". Happy Brewing!
