  • 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

A fake berliner weiss. It can fool all but the very best tasters, and did. Use this complex german step mash to pull the best out of this grain: Step Rest Start Stop Heat Infuse Infuse Infuse Step Name Time Time Temp Temp Type Temp Amount(quarts) Ratio --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acid 5 10 104 104 Infuse 114 5.00 0.83 Protein 5 35 122 122 Infuse 210 1.27 1.04 Low Sacc 5 10 144 144 Infuse 210 2.49 1.46 Mid Sacc 5 20 147 147 Infuse 210 0.47 1.54 Final Sacc 5 20 162 162 Infuse 210 3.26 2.08 Mash Out 5 5 168 168 Infuse 210 1.96 2.41 I know, but it is worth it. Be sure to use 1/2# of rice hulls to help you sparge this beast. Add the lactic acid after racking to the secondary. 4 oz is good for me, but 3 oz will make it a bit less tart.
