Interesting!  This makes sense given that I used Nottingham only maybe three times, and in my earlier brewing years, when I definitely fermented numerous beers too warm, based on ambient temps.  After a couple with Nottingham with ferments where beer temp probably went as high as 73F, I just stopped using it.  So, no wonder my complaint is that it was never clean enough tasting..., in fact made it a chore to drink the beer.

Sounds like I should try it again, now that I temp control my ferments, and keep IPAs/PAs cool-side fermented.

Well, maybe...I fermented both Notty and 05 at 62-65 and still found Notty had an objectionable tartness.
Life begins at 60.....1.060, that is!

Thanks Denny.  Deja vu by the way, but I'm not going to search the archives to prove it.

Truth be known, I cannot change my tastebuds.  They, by the way, are unique to me.
