First Time with Nottingham

[MikeinCT]

Previously used SafeAle-05 with pretty good results in my AG red ale. Trying Notty just for comparison. I am impressed so far. Tossed the yeast into wort at 1.052 on Sunday. On Wenesday evening it is 1.010. SafeAle seemed to quit around 1.015. Of course the proof is in the taste and that will be 6 to 8 weeks from now.

I like US-04 and Nottingham. Nottingham seems to leave less esters when its fermented at a higher temp (Upper 60's) as compared to Safale.

To Nottingham or US-05

cheers, Mike

Nottingham and US-04 are similar. US-05 is more of an english style yeast. I compare all three to 1056. More of an all around neutral American yeast.

I think you got it backwards here.....

US-04 and notty are dry english ale....US-05 is dry 1056/wlp001

There we go... When you got a few homebrews in ya, you mix little stuff like that up!

Nott's is my go to yeast. Fast easy and clean finish. Be sure to follow the rehydration instructions for best results.

Oh no not again. Can we somehow get all his crap deleted from the interwebz?

Come on, the Take Some Advice videos are the closest thing the home brew community has to a MEME. I say we embrace it.
