Styles
US Cluster Hops are one of the oldest American hop varieties. Formerly accounting for the bulk of the hops grown in the US, it has given way to other hops as we expand our beer needs but it is still a must have hop for anyone looking to recreate traditional American Lager styles.
Cultivated from the Dutch and British settlers from indigenous hops, this is a strong and very underrated hop. Being duel purpose it serves to both bitter and provide hop aroma to your brew.
Flavor Profile
Smooth and sweet, Goldings are recognized as having the most typical English profile. This hop is in demand for copper-hopping and dry hopping of traditional ales. Use Golding hops in combination with Fuggles for a time-honored taste. Kent Goldins are also useful for late hopping lagers, when a delicate aroma is required.

Nottingham Beer Dry Yeast is highly flocculant and has relatively full attenuation properties. It has a high alcohol tolerance and is great for specialty beers. It creates low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas, and is considered neutral as an ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malts and hops to develop.
Recommended Fermentation Temperature: 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with a good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer.
