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
Steep grains for 30 min @ 150 F. A better yeast selection would have been WLP005 (Ringwood). Primary 10 days. Secondary 3 weeks. Carbonate in keg and ready to drink.

I think this one had lots of potential, but my ingredients may have done it in. I used leftovers of malt, specialty grains, and hops. It has a harsh egde to it that I can't explain, but has mellowed out over the past few months.
