Barley (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Barley Flakes have been produced specifically for brewing, developing characteristics necessary for easy and efficient use in a brewhouse. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. • Because flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. • There is no need to mill Barley Flakes. However, they can be put through the mill if that is the easiest means of adding them to the mash. • Use Barley Flakes as an adjunct in all-grain brews to produce a lighter colored finished beer without lowering the original gravity. • Use in place of corn as an adjunct to eliminate corn flavor in the finished beer. • Use at 10-25% of total grist to produce a light colored, mild flavored, dry beer.

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
The .50 hop addition should be .25 Centennial @ 35min and .25 Cascade @ 20min Mash at 150F for 60min Primary 4 days at 68 Degrees Secondary 5 Days at 68 Degrees
