  • Danstar Windsor

    Danstar Windsor

    Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).

First Partial Mash Experience

2008-11-05 12:57pm

This is my first partial mash experience, taken from the Chris Colby Partial mash article school of hard knocks. 10/24/08 Seemed like a successful brew day. Heated up the strike water to 163. Didn't take the temp after the strike but hope it came out to be around 152 fahrenheit. At the end of the day had an gravity of 1.058. Dead on to the estimate. 10/25/08 Strong bubbling! love that smell of english hops, sure american hops are nice but sometimes that earthy aroma is so nice. 10/27/08 The bubbling has already slowed to about once every 5 minutes so I figured I'd transfer to the secondary. Gravity is around 1.025. I'm a little nervous about this, since Windsor likes to end high. I'm hoping that my mash temperature wasn't too high equaling more dextrines and lower fermentables. The taste was nice though but woah is that bitter. WGV seems pretty refreshing though. Plan on bottling 11/6/08

turned out ok...

the gravity never came down which was disappointing but it still a drinkable beer.a couple of people said they really liked it...but knowing when something didn't come out how you wanted it to takes away from it unfortunately. i think the yeast flocculated too quickly with a drop in temperature in the room i keep it in. will try this again probably.
