Danstar Nottingham yeast??

[thood6]

I am considering brewing a big imperial stout with an OG 1.100. Is nottingham an appropriate yeast for such a big dark beer? I would double pitch of course but am just curious if it is even right for the style.

It should work fine (2 packs for sure). I use it for all my ales (stuck in my ways, I know.)

If it gets over 65 degrees watch out for a possible volcano, for sure use a blow off in any case.

Should be fine. Just keep the temps down. Notty seems to get fruity once you get in the high 60's.

Notty is one of my goto yeasts and has never let me down. I agree with boscobeans- two packs to git er done!

I prefer Notty really low...60-63 at most. Its practically clean at this temp. But no matter what temp I have used...the blowoff is always outrageous. I've been using 05 lately just to avoid them.
