LalBrew Windsor (English Ale)

Full-Bodied English Ale • Residual Malty Sweetness • True Pub Character

LalBrew Windsor is a traditional English ale strain prized for producing full-bodied, estery beers with genuine residual sweetness — the soft, malty character of a proper English pub pint. Where modern strains ferment bone dry, Windsor deliberately leaves richness behind.

With 70% attenuation and medium-low flocculation, it is one of the lowest-attenuating dry yeasts available, finishing beers with noticeable body and a rounded, satisfying palate.

Flavor & Aroma Profile

• Full, rich mouthfeel with residual malty sweetness
• Distinctly fruity English ester profile
• Notes of ripe orchard fruit and fresh bread
• Soft, gentle bitterness perception
• Authentic cask-ale character

Fermented cool, Windsor keeps its fruit in check and emphasizes malt depth; at warmer temperatures the esters grow bold and jammy, producing unmistakably English beer. Because it does not ferment maltotriose, the finished gravity stays high regardless — plan recipes around that body.

Brewing Applications

LalBrew Windsor is a staple ingredient in many traditional English styles, including:

• English Mild
• Ordinary and Best Bitter
• Northern English Brown Ale
• Sweet / Milk Stout
• Oatmeal Stout
• English Old Ale

It is also a clever choice for low-alcohol session beers, where its low attenuation keeps flavor and body in a small package.

Usage Recommendations

Pitch one 11 g sachet into 5 gallons of standard-gravity wort, fermenting at 59–72°F. Around 63–65°F gives balanced fruit and malt; warmer fermentation pushes the ester profile toward bold and traditional.

Given its medium-low flocculation, allow extra conditioning time or cold-crash to clear the beer — or blend Windsor with Nottingham, a classic pairing that balances body with a cleaner, brighter finish.
