I think that's the flavor profile Nottingham gives. I've made this beer a couple of times and every time I make it with Nottingham it has a pretty strong lager flavor. I think I'm going to switch to US-05 next time I brew it.
I brewed this with Nottingham also after 11 days it taste like a bud ice lager may just need more time I'm hoping to get a better flavor after about 14 days.

I guess it's a fine line we're walking. I want a beer that will appeal to my BMC drinking family and friends, but good gawd, please don't let it taste like Bud Ice!!!

This is really a good beer , 14 days from brew date & I bottled it ! Really a good taste smooth , clean and refreshing. I love this beer !it almost seems like I'm drinking free beer . I don't have to go to the store and buy beer . I have my own , and it's better than theirs. Cheers!
All cascade would probably work too but I need to find something to do with all that darn willammette in my freezer.....
I'd love to see it. The only good amber recipe I have is Jamil's. Wouldn't mind trying something different.I have a great amber ale recipe that calls for 2.5 oz of Willamette.
Brewed this up this past weekend, it was my first attempt at all grain. I ended up using 7lb 12oz of Northwest Pale Ale malt. I didn't really do that on purpose but grabbed the wrong stuff from the LHBS. Wondering if anyone else has made this using that stuff instead of regular old 2-row pale?
BTW, this thing had a massive krausen in the fermenter! So glad I used the 8.5 gallon bucket instead of the 6.5 gallon one I usually use.
You'll end up with a little darker wort, but not much. You'll actually get more flavor using Pale Malt over whats labeled basic 2 row. I think it taste better, and there's a reason it's slightly more expensive.
Good mistake.
This is good to hear! Especially since my mash temp was low (started at 150° and ended at 148°-ish) so the extra flavor should compensate for the potential dryness.
Just wondering, how long to you guys primary this one? I was thinking two weeks is plenty long, but wanted to check with folks that have done it before.
Thanks.
So this thing fermented all the way down to 1.007 (yikes!) and is pretty damn dry. Will an extended stay in secondary help it out at all or is it a lost cause?
