Just had my first pour, love this brew. Gonna be a keeper.
I just made this earlier today. This is my second attempt, the first (about a year ago) was undrinkable due to bad yeast. I think I made the same mistake with this one. I pitched the Nottingham about 3 hours ago and just realized it was from the infamous 1081140118v recalled lot. Fortunately I had another packet from a more recent lot. I just pitched that. Hopefully that can start working and eat up the sugars before the recalled yeast has chance to add any off-flavors.
If I remember correctly, the recalled Nottingham was okay, except that it had a long lag time. So hopefully, you won't get any off flavors.
Would using german pils instead of 2row make much difference? I have a bunch of pils that I could use. Otherwise I'll make a run to LHBS. Thanks
Going to brew the P.M. version for my next brew.
As I am not used to Nottingham, how many packets would be acceptable/suggested? And I am assuming I rehydrate prior to pitching!?
I brewed this last night and I think it turned out great. It smelled awesome and my OG was 1.050, so I was happy. This was my first time using hop leaves instead of pellets, so I'm curious how it will turn out.
I just found this forum and stumbled upon your recipe Ed, so I decided to brew it. This is my third all grain beer and also my third time brewing. Everything went well and there is a lot of activity in my fermenter. My OG was 1.0525. both of my other beers had a good OG too but they did not get to the target FG. I do not know why this happened. I hope this one works because I really want to drink some homebrew:cross:
Okay, so my beer has been in the fermenter for a week and I checked the gravity which was 1.012. My starting gravity on this batch was 1.0525 so by my calculations I should have around 6.4% alcohol. WOW I usually don't drink beer with this much alcohol...but i'm willing to adapt The sample was also very tasty. I have moved it to a secondary for a few days until I get another keg and then I will keg, carbonate, and start drinking
