LalBrew Nottingham Brewing Yeast (2 Pack) - Make Beer at Home - 11 g Sachets - Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Sold by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc.

good yeast for beer brewing

I used this to make a batch of a English style IPA. After pitching it at about 75f it was happy and went right to work, bubbling and yeasting Four days in and the wort is starting to clear off nicely and there's a good layer of raw marmite on the bottom of the fermenter. I'll let it go for a couple weeks but I'm sure it will do the beer thing just like I asked. Keep in mind that I'm new to brewing at home so this is by no means an "expert" review. If I'm wrong I apologize!

I was totally incorrect, and thought my yeast was DOA. However, after learning how to properly rehydrate the yeast, they're performing great. This yeast must be rehydrated with some care, using sterilized tap water (minerals in the water help the yeasties) at about 90 farenheit. Let them sit for maybe 1/2 hour, then add them to your wort. Prior to rehydration, the cell walls are damaged, and the sugars in your wort can easily kill the yeasties. Once rehydrated, the yeast can control permeability and will do great in your wort.

Not bad stuff. I have been using this brand of yeast for a few batches, and it is pretty consistent.

Just what I needed with quick delivery time. Whether my beer turns out is another story.

Yeast was good on arrival, works great and cuts time off for fermentation

Completely dead yeast. Wouldn’t ferment, tried to activate it , nothing.

I tried on three separate occasions to get this yeast to ferment. I had a gallon of fresh squeezed cider (straight off the tree), sanitized via campden tablet, and it wouldn't budge when I pitched at ~71 degrees (direct into juice) a day later. I tried pitching into 90 degree plain water with nothing else in it as per a commenter on here. Nothing after a day. Only after pitching into 110 degree water did I get any kind of reaction after a day. Light white foam but not spectacularly bubbly. Tried pitching the 110 degree water yeast into the cider, no dice after a day. This was over the course of both packets. I tried pitching generic yeast in after giving up and within an hour I had a half inch of foam forming on top. I don't know what I did wrong here with the Nottingham yeast. I'm giving it 2 stars for good packaging and because maybe I got an unlucky set of packets.

Good yeast.

Fermentazione partita ottimamente con il minimo del dosaggio consigliato!

Really happy with Nottingham brewing yeast! Easy to use, reliable fermentation, and a clean finish. A great choice for home brewing—would definitely use it again!

Yeast was sealed airtight and fermented with no issue.

Nottingham yeast is always reliable. This yeast was fresh and ready to go. Always a pleaser.
