AYF Yeast Nutrient - (omitted from calculations)
AYF Yeast Nutrient
A superbly balanced blend of minerals, proteins, amino acids and vitamins essential to optimize yeast activity during fermentation, notably of high adjunct beers. Usage is approx. .8 - 1.6 oz per 10 bbl. Compare these dosage rates to other products, and you'll switch! Benefits are improved attenuation, increased consistency of fermentation rate and beer flavor.

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
> Not included in calc: Dry hop with 2.61 oz Saaz > Attenuation calculated @ 80% to get 8.1% ABV > Mash for 120 min @ 153F > Boil 105 min > When responding to a request for suggested pitching rates for a 1.110 OG, 5 gallon Barleywine recipe on the Danstar website, Dr Clayton Cone recommended two 11g packets and 10g yeast nutrient. Kristen England's tasting notes: "A big, crisp, dry IPA thingy with a butte tonne of low alpha hops. Hops, more hops, hops and hop resins. Buckets of flowers and spicy Saaz. A deep, malty, biscuity middle is followed by the huge tannic crisp dryness that goes on and on. " Kristen on making a big hoppy beer using mostly Czech Saaz: "The thinking is that you just can’t get that bitterness using Czech Saaz. This is entirely untrue. What you will find is that the bitterness is very different. Its much less harsh. Additionally, I find the aroma is much much higher on this beer simply due to the fact of the vast amount of hop that goes in. More essential oils and such."
