Danstar Windsor Ale Yeast for a stout

I really like Notty, so I picked up some Windsor and I’m thinking about using it in a milk stout. Anybody done this? How did it turn out?

I just used Windsor for the first time in the WH Honey Porter.

I have not tasted it yet but… it seems to have crapped out / stopped at 1.020.

Never got below 64 F and I was rousing it (rocking the primary) every few days after a week or so.

After some brief prowling on the inner-tubes, this seems to be a common issue with Windsor. :?

I’ll be kegging this and it may very well taste just fine but, I don’t think I’m using this yeast again. :cry:

Good luck.

That’s the only stout I’d use it in.

How about raising the temp? Primary fermentation is done so i don’t think you will get off flavors…

It’s been a month, 4 weeks in the primary.

It’s done! At least doing anything useful! :shock:

I’d think about using it in a mild or esb.
