WLP039: Nottingham or Danstar Nottingham dry yeast

ate-star · 10-17-2007, 02:10 PM

I started AG a couple months ago. My first AG was Irish Red Ale, and used WLP039: Nottinghan Ale yeast. It was very good compared to my previous beer which were brewed with cooper beer can kits. I will never go back to the can kits. I am going to brew ED Haus Pale Ale and Hob Goblin Ale. Both recipes recommend to use Danstar Nottingham dry yeast. I think my question is that can I use WLP039:Nottingham Ale yeast instead of Nottingham dry yeast since I can not get Nottingham dry yeast from LHBS.

Sure you can. I'm pretty sure that it's the same stuff. You can email white labs to verify that, of course. By the way, just order a bunch of the dry packets off of some homebrew website and keep it in your fridge. That stuff is so awesomely vigorous.
