Another Nottingham thread

[smata67]

I just pitched Notty into a Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale today. It is same lot, 1080472V dated 07 2012. I rehydrated as described. Yeast fell to the bottom, no foaming. It smelled ok. I pitched the cloudy solution anyway. I had the same behavior at the same time the other batch (12/2011) caused a stir about 3 months ago, though it appears I may have gotten some foaming then. On that batch, I saw a bit of bubbling in my trap after 36 hours and then nothing. Batch fermented fine and I'm finishing it off. I'll keep an eye on this one, but I'm not worried. This yeast acts a bit different than others, but seems to do the job.

I have the same lot number. 1080472V 07 2012. Let us know how it turns out. I am going to use US-05 for my next batch. I did read that Danstar says to use 100 grams of yeast to 100 litres of wort. That is twice what Safale says to use with US-05. That tells me that Notty doesn't work as good as it used to.

Despite very little activity during rehydration, the airlock is bubbling at about once per second in less than 24 hours after pitching. Looks okay here for now.

Airlock activity dead at 48 hours. My buckets are pretty tight. Similar behavior as my last batch of Nottingham which finished fine, except this one took off earlier and airlock activity was more brisk. I think its fine.

I have notty in my fridge.

I have notty in the pot.

I like Nottingham a lot.

I have had problems none.

No, No, Not a single one.

Do you? Did you? Yes or no?

Can you take a joke? No! Go blow!

I did not, do not have a problem.

If I did Im sure HBTcan help solve'em

Now please move on.

Please be done.

Gone now surely is the fun.

What an irritant. Don't you have something else to do?

I contacted Lallemand about the last bad lot number above and received replacement sachets of Lot 1089001V, Exp 10/2012. I brewed today and hydrated one of these and it creamed up nicely and smelled good so I pitched it. I am somewhat relieved, seems like this bunch might be back to normal. I will post back in 3 weeks or so when this is done but I suspect it is a good lot.

Cheers!

Quick update: Lot 1089001V, Exp 10/2012 is fine. Normal (quick start/vigorous) fermentation for Nottingham.

No. I dont have anything better to do. Thanks for asking.

Dude!!! Relax the issue is serious. Your being heard, and taken seriously. Chill.

I'm just stuck at work waiting to go home and brew while your wherever having a Mr.Seriouspants fit. I wont post in here again unless I have a problem with some naughty notty....

I used the same batch last night for EdWorts Apfelwein and it was good.
I hope the problems are in the past with this yeast.

I bottled this batch yesterday, no problems to note, good FG, smell, color, etc.
