Nottingham yeast pitching temp

[brewtopbeer]

Hey guys I was told to pitch my Nottingham yeast around 27 to 30 degrees after I dehydrated in a 100ml of water is this the right way or have I killed my yeast??

Here is the correct specifications for Nottingham

You wont have killed your yeast but you have not achieved the most ideal conditions for that brand.

The pitching rate of Nottingham is 1 gram for each litre of wort and because of this most new brewers underpitch Nottingham.

I hope the link helps

I have been pitching my Notto between 18 and 22 then dropping to 16, you won't have killed your yeast at that temp and honestly it will probably be fine. Some one might be able to tell you from experience if you may get some funky tastes coming through, I would doubt it though assuming you still ferment at a lower temp.

If you can next time, it is better to do it the other way around, e.g. pitch at 17C and let it rise to ferment temps at 18-22C. Or at least if you want a cleaner ferment.
