What effect would a Nottingham yeast have on a Belgium type brew? - would it touch 7-8% alcohol and what effect would this have on the taste...curiosity killed the cat!
:cheers:
 
Easily reach 7-8% . . . but none of the esters and funky flavours that a Belgian yeast brings . . . in fact not a lot of anything really. It's good for when you don't want any yeast contribution.
 
Thank you for that AM :thumb:; what if I ferment at a higher temperature which would bend some flavours out of this yeast (ie banana + other surprizes perhaps :wha: ) ?
 
doubt youd get banana.

maybe diacetyl or delicious fuels oils.

nottingham can get fairly estery though so maybe you'll get some fruityness.
