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 Biermuncher from Homebrewtalk.com First "American Munich" is Weyermann Smoked Malt (beechwood) since Beertools does not have an entry for that. Mash at 156* for 60 min. Cool the whole pot by recirculation to 140 then into the carboy. Use Nottingham yeast cake to pitch Dark Lord clone on to. Ferment for 3 weeks, crash and keg.
