  • 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

Boil 2 1/2 gal of water the day before and cool in a covered container for addition to the fermenting bucket. Steep grains at 165F for 30 min. This is an untried recipe that I am making on Feb 23,2002. Will update with fermentation notes etc. I used Blackstrap mollasses, hence the name.
