The original recipe used flaked barley for head retention. Later I couldn't find flaked barley and used carapils instead. The flaked barley added a fresh graininess. The carapils is more delicate and allowed the hops to share shine brighter. I have used Nottingham, Coopers and US-05. All worked well. The Coopers enhanced the fruitiness. The US-05 was the cleanest. I would use US-05 as the Coopers added a little too much apple last time I used it. Let me know about the Amarillo. Good brewing!
