I plan to brew Jamil's West Coast Blaster, which he classifies as a California Red Ale and which utilizes American hops. I plan to use Nottingham Ale yeast, as I think that will handle my cool basement temps better than US-05. Will the Notty alter the beer significantly from what I would get from US-05?
I'm sure it'll be great with Notty. I used 1272 for that recipe, but only cuz I use 1272 in almost all my American styles. It's a great recipe and the hops and caramel malts are what stands out, so a neutral yeast like Notty will make a great beer!
