I'm brewing this classic British style for the new year. It's based on Northern Brewer's Single Hopped Bitter. I made it last year with Fuggle and it was fantastic. I have some Glacier hops on hand, so this will be a good one to make that is quickly ready to drink from the keg.

  • 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!

Great brew!

I mashed at a high-ish temp and I think it made the beer a bit more malty/ caramel. The body is still light, from the adjunct sugar. I decided to dry-hop it with British style hops to give it another hop flavor layer. It's a solid ale. I'm enjoying it served from the cellar.
