So i ordered some brewing grains and yeast and i ordered nottingham yeast but the yeast i got says windsor on it. Is there a difference?
im brewing a centinneal blonde which is a recipe by BierMuncher...its in the American Ale section in the recipe database
In my experience, Nottingham and Windsor are significantly different yeasts...Notty is much cleaner, drier and is far more flocculant. Seems like an odd substitution, I'd go with US-05 or even S-04 before Windsor, particularly with a blonde ale that is supposed to be crisp and clean.
Hey BierMuncher...it's your recipe, what would you pitch if you ran out of Nottingham?
ok sweet...i have a pack of safale us-05 with me. i will use that...maybe i will send a pm to biermuncher and see what he says
You'll be fine with the safale 05. Go for it. You don't even have to hydrate it.
