    Joe, thanks for that input. While I am a fan of pretzels (particularly South Philly soft pretzels) I am uncertain whether I would like this quality in my beers but in all fairness I have not really tried it. I would state that one of these days I would use S-04 to brew my Bitter Ales but frankly I am such a huge fan of 1469/Windsor the reality is that I will never try it.

    Another classic example of to each their own.

    Cheers!

    Came out phenomenal. As @DunkelFester suggested swapped in .5 flaked barley for some MO and dropped my OG a hair. I'll be brewing this again soon

    Thanks all and Merry Christmas

    Jack, I just re-read this and considered a different interpretation. Are you suggesting Windsor is a dry yeast version of 1469?

    I should have constructed the statement this way: “I am such a huge fan of 1469 and Windsor the reality is that I will never try it.”

    Cheers!

    I agree with the West Yorkshire selection. I use it in my milds and bitters, gives a great touch of fruitiness. My favorite yeast by far.

    I recognise that recipe. One of the most popular ones I've posted.

    Just call it a pre-WW II Mild.
