  • 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).

Notes

1. Mash at 66*C for 90 minutes. 2. Step up to 75*C and mash out. 3. 90 minute boil. 4. I used Green Bullet, not Centennial for bittering. 5. Last boil addition was actually 10 minutes post boil and steeped for 20 minutes. 6. Ferment at 18-20*C
