Who has all the Nottingham??

My last order with AHS wound up short two packs of Nottingham with an out of stock note. Stopped by my LHBS and they were out of Nottingham too.

Anyone else finding this?

I confess, it's me.

Hehe. Actually I have 1 pack. At one point in the past I remember a supply issue with the HBS I was using. LD Carlson was their supplier, and they were out.

Yeah, I recall that...about 9 months or a year ago.

same problem at my lhbs this past weekend. no nottingham so they recommended safale 04 instead. hopefully it won't make a big difference to the old speckled hen attempt.

odd, I would have figured they would sub US05 over S04....04 is generally more estery and attenuates lower than Nottingham or US05. You might want to keep it on the cooler side of the temps to keep the fruity esters to a minimum & aerate well to encourage a healthy ferment. YMMV

This is an incredible yeast! The sediment is so compact that nothing ran out of the pour in around 2 weeks after I bottled a brew I did with it. Very clean, good attenuation, but man that sediment compaction is amazing! You know like when you pour a bottle conditioned beer and you can see the 'trail' of yeast starting to follow out the pour? Well, with this yeast, I can just pour straight into the glass the whole bottle and NOTHING comes out. Really highly recommended. I am a huge fan of Fermentis's product line.

Tru dat...it does floc very nicely.

Not me, I've only got a half dozen or so laying around.

LHBS had a bunch in stock last friday..... but they have been out of S-04 for months, and are subbing US-05 for anyone asking for it.

Steinbarts in Portland, OR is fully stocked...3 or 4 full boxes of Nottingham.

My LHBS has about 20 of them. Dont know what to tell ya.

It's all here in Omaha. I was at both local places on Friday and they both had big bags of Nottingham in the fridge.

Well it sounds like you guys need to get your LHBS to send AHS and Keystone some nottingham then!
