Hi
All Merry whatever term you support to you
So I have been using Nottingham for my everyday ale brewing and to be fair I have not had too much to moan about. I have been using 11g sachets to date but have done a bit of arithmetic and it would be much cheaper buying a 500g brick and subing it down into smaller quantities and vac sealing then freezing till use. Now the cost of a 500g brick is circa 70€ whereas a 500g brick of Fermentis safale S-O4 comes in at 51€ the specs for these yeasts look remarkable similar is the Notty worth an extra 20€ ? Times are hard gents what would you recommend ? I know that yeast can be reclaimed and have done so before but really prefer just to pitch some freshly rehydrated on the day of my brew . On the other hand I could buy a sachet and try it for myself... but if you cannot trust fellow brewers for an opinion who can you trust
