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
after the centennial boil add fuggles 1oz for 5 minutes. At flame off add another oz of fuggles- this will bring up the hoppiness- dry hop secondary with 1 oz centennial This requires 2 packets of Nottingham yeast due to the high gravity of the wort

Very Hoppy

This was a really hoppy beer- It had to mellow for few extra weeks before I could really drink it. It had a slight yeasty flavor too. My chest freezer will arrive for christmas so i'll be able to maintain more stable fermentation temps. If you could ferment this at about 66 it would be perfect. I think I was in the ballpark of 71-74 for fermentation. I did not rack this to glass either just left it in primary for 3 weeks. Dry hopped with another Oz of Centennial after 1 week.
