Notes

Both are clean high-attenuating ale strains that flocculate high, but Nottingham is an English house strain and BRY-97 is an American West Coast strain, and both tolerate 13 to 14% alcohol.

Choose Nottingham as a neutral English workhorse and stuck-ferment restarter.

Choose BRY-97 for a clean American ale or West Coast IPA that should drop bright.
