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
The story of this beer goes back a ways. First it was a screwed up cream ale, but a good beer. Trying to re-create it and my Gravity isn't even close, so now I am going to call it a Mild, hopefully I get as lucky as last time. #16 4/08 -

Not what I was going for, but great

This thing turned out to be a Mild (planned as a brown ale), as my efficiency was way off (don't know what I did wrong). But this may be the fullest flavored Mild I have ever had, and what is even better is my screw ups are even turning out well now.
