I'm having a beer - porterlike stuff slightly on the sweet side with an OG of 1.068 - fermenting right now at 18C/64F with Nottingham dry yeast. The recipe called for S-05, but as Notty was what I had in store, and as that also is a pretty clean yeast, I pitched that.
I've never used 05, and am a bit curious as to whether I'll get noticeably different results from what I might have gotten with that one. The original is a truly wonderful winter warmer/Christmas ale from one of Norway's best craft breweries, and I'd really like to get as close as possible.
