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
If you like strong coffee and dark beer you'll love this. The espresso is added during second fermentation and adds some bitterness on its own.

It's been over three months since I bottled. I had some last night and it's great. It's smoothing out real nice, especially the coffee, and has a nice body. I'll definitely be making this again except I'll double the batch size next time.

I took a sampling to the local Brew Club. It was a real big hit. The primary comment was "make more and bring it to the meetings" and they thought it was very well balanced even with as much coffee as I used. So I'll be making more in the next month. Ten gallons this time.
