Just in the process of putting down Orfy's Hobgoblin, and must say the smells as this was brewing up was fantastic. It's got me wishing for 5 weeks to pass just so I can try a bottle :icon_drool2:
Just a quick question regarding yeast. My LHBS did not have the Nottingham Yeast that was recommended for this brew, so instead they suggested using Saflager S23. The packet suggests pitching the yeast between 10-15 degrees, which I am a bit worried about getting the temp down to considering the hot weather we've been having in NSW at the moment. LHBS said don't worry the yeast will be ok up to 30 degrees.
My thoughts are that this is BS. What do you guys think should be the highest temp I let this get to? Is 20 degrees going to be ok?
