Metalman yeast eh?

[irish_goat]

Was on a visit to the brewery and they were empting a fermenter and scooping out jugs full of yeast so I asked for a few vials of it just. 

[delzep]

Do you know what strain it is?

[irish_goat]

She only told me that it was an English strain that ferments nice and dry and clean.

[delzep]

Nottingham maybe so

Anyway...that recipe looks nice. Citra is quality stuff

Ahem-hem.... Exhibit A, perhaps?

I happened to notice the photo last week when I was doing my ehh... "research" for the interview with Gráinne.


I must use Notty on my next batch of pale ales. I keep thinking they're going to come out like an English bitter, which is why I only use US-05 for such beers.

Nice recipe, irish_goat. That's some big-ass tropical flavour you're going to get from all that Citra. You could call it "Um-Bongo Pale Ale"?
