My favorite recipe is an English ESB which I generally make with Safale-05. I was going to brew tomorrow, but I’m all out of 05 and have packages of Nottingham, Bry-97 and Belle Saison on hand. Would any of these work? Thanks.
I just pitched nottingham into an IPA.Nottingham is the no-brainer since it's a great performer AND the only English yeast of the bunch.
Notty will clear up on its own without any other help.Thanks, I brought it upstairs where the temp is around 68F. Should be good as far as the diacetyl rest goes.
Another question related to Nottingham, usually I use gelatin to clear my beer, getting crystal clear pours. Should I continue this with Nottingham, or due to its high flocculation will it clear on its own? I do use Whirlfloc at the end of the brew, is that enough or should I go with fining with gelatin? Thanks again, always learning.
