Ale to the Chief
Well-Known Member
Any thoughts on making an ordinary bitter with American Ale yeast (s-05) probably or possibly Nottingham instead of english yeast. The reason I would try this is that I prefer the flavor of English hops over American hops, but do not like the "twanginess" of english yeast. I prefer a clean yeast flavor. Is there any reason this would not come out ok? I realize it's not traditional for the style, but that's not something I've ever concerned myself with. The recipe I plan to make is below.
