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
Liquid maltose (hydrolized wheat starch) added to boil in place of rice syrup - gives a nice nuttiness. Single infusion mash at 155-156F to yield a sweeter finish.

I wrecked this one by leaving it on the yeast and stuff in the primary carboy for about a month. Couldn't lose the disgusting yeast autolysis flavour so it got dumped -= other than that, it tasted like it would have been good....
