Has anyone compared these two strains? I brewed a brown ale last week and thought I would split the batch in half and add Notty to one and 05 to the other to see if I would notice. That's the only thing I did different. Will there be a noticeable difference between the two? I pitched both yeasts at 62F.
I've brewed this brown ale before about three years ago (NB's nut brown ale) and, to be honest, I hated it. I love brown ales, but mine was bad enough for me to think about dumping. At that time, it was only my second batch into the hobby, so now I wanted to give it another go wondering if the first go around was something I didn't do correctly. The original recipe calls for Notty, but I wanted to see what it would be like with a different yeast, hence the splitting.
