Ginger Cream Ale
Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer • Extract • 20 L
This was my attempt of brewing a beer that my wife might drink. That and I like a ginger ale that has a strong ginger flavor not a weak one.

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
Used a base Cream ale recipe from my brew shop for this one. I omitted 15 g. of cascade hops that where for the aroma addition. I grated around 2 cups worth of ginger,zested and juiced 5 lemons that I added at the last 10 minutes of the boil. At the bottling point the ale has a nice ginger flavor and great color.

The color a flavor of this one is wonderful. The next time I brew this one I am going to up the ginger and add Orange zest along with the lemon that I added.
