Nottingham recall

[phettebs]

Not sure if you all even have the same manufacturer as we do in North America but the Nottingham packets of dry yeast have been recalled here. The lot in question is 1080961099V exp. 12/2011. I checked and the three packets I have all match that lot and date. :-( Just bought them a few weeks ago too. Glad I didn't use them.

Apparently, brewers are experiencing extra long lag times with this lot of yeast. Just thought I'd send out a warning in case it does affect anyone on here.

Yep, we've had the same problems with some batches over here. I had no end of trouble a few months back.

My buddy pitched it into a batch of cider and complained that it took several days before he had any activity. I wonder if he got one of these bad ones. I know he got it from the same place I got mine.

Thanks for linking to the old post. Sorry for the repeat information.

Thanks for the heads up Barry, I bought a couple of packs a few weeks back and used one in last Sundays brew.
Just checked the remaining pack and its one on the recall list :x .... Brew seems fine though, so will ponder whether to use the remaining offender :wha:
