American Wheat or Rye Beer • Extract • 5.25 gal

Hoptober

A very basic American Wheat but is the most requested beer. I styled it to be similiar to Sierra Nevada's wheat. I've made this several times and it's always come out the same. (mostly) It's a good beer to introduce to the "lite beer" drinkers.

  • 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!

This beer turned out virtualy the same as every other time I've brewed it. Great flavor, carbonation happens quickly and stores at cellar temp for a very long time. A very easy beer to make.
