Easy drinker with a little punch. I make this when I don't have a full day to invest for brewing and need to fill up a voided spot in the keezer.

  • 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!

Notes on the beer

2011-04-24 8:05am

I add the honey the last 10 minutes of the boil with the flame off. Once dissolved spark it back up. Ferment at 65 or as close to that as you can get. The Notty yeast will help the beer finish dry along with the added honey. This beer if crisp and refreshing. One of the fan favorites from Spring until Fall.
