Nottingham Recall

Post by Brian B »

Hey guys,

We just got word that Lallemand has issued a recall of their Nottingham yeast with lot#1080961099V, expiration date 12/2011.

This is from the Lallemand announcement.

October 6, 2010

Over the last few weeks we have received several inquiries from homebrewers regarding Nottingham lot #1080961099V exp. date 12/2011 stating that they were experiencing slow start of fermentation and/or poor fermentation performance. Internal tests conducted on a cross-section of sachets of this batch over several weeks have indicated normal performance, but given the widespread geographical nature of the comments being received, we feel it is best to ask retailers and distributors to return any inventory of this specific batch rather than risk brewers having a negative experience with our products.

If you have Nottingham batch #1080961099V exp. date 12/2011 still in your inventory, please return it for exchange.

Please return the yeast to:
Lallemand Inc.
Attn: Marie Coppet
6100 Royalmount
Montreal, QC, Canada
H4P 2R2

Any inquiries about return logistics can be addressed to [email protected].

Replacement inventory of Nottingham may be several weeks away as we are transferring our packaging operations to another location, requiring down-time for set-up of packaging equipment and infrastructure. We have also invested in a new sachet packaging line which we anticipate commissioning early next year. This is part of our commitment to ongoing product improvement and ensuring brewers have a great experience with our yeast. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we hope you will bear with us as we work to address this issue in the coming weeks. Your cooperation and support of Danstar products are greatly appreciated.

If you have any Nottingham, purchased from any retailer local or internet, one with the above lot number bring it by The Wine Makers Toy Store and we can swap you out for a different dry yeast.
