Danstar Nottingham
Danstar Nottingham
The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Brewed this yesterday. Did a 80 min. mash and still only came in at 1.040 (Don't know what happened there), Barely in style range, BUT it tasted great. Not much mouth yet, a but very smooth coffee/chocolate/malt backlash. Fast kreusen with one litre starter of Danstar Nottingham. Glugging like crazy now. We'll see what two weeks brings.
