Danstar Windsor Brewing Yeast, 0.39-Ounce Packet

use this yeast dry for reason.. does its yeast job

This yeast has not failed me in any batches of soda or beer yet, which is why I keep using it exclusively. May try other yeasts when I become more seasoned but will stick with what works until then.

This is a fast turnaround yeast that seems to work best in amber or darker worts where you want a little residual sugar. In a 3% abv dark bitter, with 5% simple sugar and a 152F mash, the yeast attenuated to 61% ADF. Fermentation was solidly complete in 2 days, which is frankly, pretty damn fast. It has exceedingly odd and unpleasant nutty and woodsy esters initially that fade in a day or two into generically British, fruity esters and a light fruity taste. It is poorly flocculent and will require cold condition and or finings to clarify. You can easily go grain to glass in 8 days with this yeast if you keg. Maybe 14 days if you bottle condition.I would use this again for a nice, simple, British style beer.

We turned this into a nice summer/citrus Sahti

Windsor yeast could probably ferment water....(for those in the know)

Good
