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
Brewed for a friend who drinks American Swill. He liked it. The 6-row and Flaked Corn are steeped at 155F for 1 hr, taken off heat, sparged through grain bag, extract and syrup are stirred in thoroughly, and boiled for 60 minutes. I kegged and force carbonated.
