Hi everyone,
I've been brewing for just about 4 months and have just brewed my sixth batch. It's an IPA based on Jamil Zainasheff's "Hoppiness is an IPA" from Brewing Classic Styles. It's fermenting now, been going for almost 24 hours. I pitched roughly 6 ounces of Nottingham yeast I got fresh from a local brewery, pulled straight from the fermenter. I'm really excited to see how this batch comes out. This is my third time brewing with fresh yeast from the brewery (always Nottingham) and I've really loved the 2 beers made with it previously. I have also used Safale US-05, Wyeast 1332 and Wyeast 1945 but find that the Nottingham is my favorite. I try to ferment in the lower to mid 60s to keep flavors clean.
So after rambling a bit, my question: Does anybody want to share their favorite yeast strain(s)? I'd like to experiment, and am always looking for ideas.
