DanstarNottingham
DanstarNottingham
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
Adjunct is actually homegrown sweet potatoes, unpeeled, shredded, and simmered before adding to the mash.

Weissbier : All Grain
Trying a dried yeat strain instead of usual liquid strain. Brewed on 7/14/24. Kegged on 7/27/24.
This Lallemand strain is a good substitute for WLP300.
