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
inspired by Edwort from Homebrewtalk.com (canadian 2-row not American, very similar, Weyermann 45*L instead of caramel40) Mash at 150* for 60-90 min. Add malto dextrin in last 15 minutes of boil. Cool the whole pot by recirculation to 140 then into the carboy. Ferment for 3 weeks, crash and keg.
