  • 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

Conduct a single infusion mash of all grains at 155F for 60 minutes w/ 2.5 gals. of water. At conversion completion, transfer to lauter tun and batch sparge to collect 6.25 gal of wort. Boil wort as usual and follow hopping schedule. During last 15 minutes, add Irish Moss. Chill as normal and transfer to primary. Pitch 2 packets of rehydrated yeast. Pitch 1 packet of boiled yeast hulls for nutrient. Let ferment in primary for 7 days. Rack to secondary w/ Isinglass for 7-10 days. Boil DME w/ 1 cup of water and add to bottling bucket. Rack to bottling bucket and bottle. Let age for 2 weeks and enjoy the Hop Monster! Not for the faint of heart - NOTE Extraction efficiency was low due to it being my first attempt at batch sparging. Adjust grain bill accordingly if you know you have a different efficiency.
