Anyone else using Nottingham dry ale yeast and having problems? They recently changed the packaging of the yeast and my local homebrew supply store assures me they didn't change the yeast strain, but my last 3 batches have blown the top off the primary after a couple of days. This wouldn't be such a big deal, but I've been using Nottingham for years (since Edme did the same packaging/strain change years ago) and hadn't had problems until I started using the "new" pack. The new package is bigger, but I used to use 2 of the older one and have used half of the new one, but it still blows up!
If anyone has had a similar experience and has a solution, I'd be greatful since I have 3 packages left. I may have to rig up some blowoff tube until I'm out of this yeast?
