I just made this earlier today. This is my second attempt, the first (about a year ago) was undrinkable due to bad yeast. I think I made the same mistake with this one. I pitched the Nottingham about 3 hours ago and just realized it was from the infamous 1081140118v recalled lot. Fortunately I had another packet from a more recent lot. I just pitched that. Hopefully that can start working and eat up the sugars before the recalled yeast has chance to add any off-flavors.

If I remember correctly, the recalled Nottingham was okay, except that it had a long lag time. So hopefully, you won't get any off flavors.

you do remember correctly. it was due to "lazy" yeast, and it taking 3-4 days to take off, if at all

Would using german pils instead of 2row make much difference? I have a bunch of pils that I could use. Otherwise I'll make a run to LHBS. Thanks

It will be a bit lighter, but will still make a great beer. Be sure to boil for 90 minutes though to get rid of DMS.

Humm I brewed this yesterday and my boil time was 60min. I am not familiar with DMS and what affect it has on the beer. Am I going to have issues with my batch?

I just kegged my AG version 2 days ago. It came out lighter in color than I expected. Also less hop character. I went back and checked my order and discovered that the AA was lower with the hops that I ordered. Rookie mistake, it was my first AG batch and I was worried about mashing.

I can't seem to explain the color difference though.
