stout yeast

[robsan77]

Hi,

planning my first stout to trial soon and was wondering what you guys use for the yeast? I am planning a creamy, malty sweet stout bittered to around 30ibu. I am guessing that good old nottingham will do the job?

I use S04 for my stouts, but then I still use S04 for everything except pale ales...

SO4 is good in a stout . . . much better than it is in pale beers

I like Windsor as well . . . The fruity notes go well in a stout

Liquid yeasts - Irish Ale is an obvious one

Dis a stout last weekend using wyeast irish ale .. can't speak for the taste yet, but I've had a nice steady fermentation from saturday to today (so far!).

I did a dark beer (not really a stout - an old peculier clone ) with nottingham yeast that turned out lovely :thumb:
