Master Brew Fat Tire - Extract
Belgian Pale Ale • Extract • 5 gal
If you like New Belgian's Fat Tire, you are gonna love this beer. The bisquit flavor is a little more mellow, but the Maris Otter malt gives a wonderfully unique malt profile, which compliments the mild, Noble hop flavor and Belgian yeast characteristics. This is one beer you will want to try - several times!

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
Add extract to warm water, stir to completely dissolve. Bring to boil and add hops per schedule. At end of 60 minute boil cool wort quickly, when it reaches 80 degrees pitch yeast. Primary ferment between 68 - 73 degrees for one week, then rack to secondary and add dry hops. Keep in secondary for 2 weeks, then prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Condition in bottle for at least a week.

Not to be picky but Fat Tire is an Amber Ale.
