Nottingham yeast

Has anyone used this and what style beers?

Bought it because it looked interesting!

Nottingham goes by more than one name Gervin G12, Wilko Ale yeast. It's a good all rounder. Clean tasting (but not quite as clean as US-05 Ive read), high attenuation (approx 80%) and high flocctuation so sticks to the bottom of bottles really well. You can even lager with it as it has a low temp tolerance of 14C so a good yeast to use if your free fermenting and your house gets cold in winter.

Thanks MyQul

Sounds intersting, wont be using it on todays brew as needs a starter

Its dried yeast so at best you just need to re-hydrate it, but I never bother to rehydrate dry yeast as I'm too lazy so just sprinkle it on top of the wort

Good yeast. I keep a couple of packs in the house for emergencies.

I find Nottingham an ultra reliable all rounder..always have a spare pack in the fridge in case of emergencies.

So the Wilkos yeast is the same think I better check there prices
I just payed over £3 for one packet

Yup. £1.75 for Wilko 'Ale Yeast' even cheaper when they have a sale on. So cheap you can just use a new pack every brew
