I do NOT recommend it. It is far too attenuative. 1275 attenuates in the 75% range, which is at least 5% higher than I prefer. This beer is so, well, mild that you don't really want to exceed 65% attenuation.

If you must use it, underpitch by about 30% and keep the temperature on the low end of the yeast's range. Still, I heartily recommend getting a packet of Windsor and calling it a day.

I didn't see this discussed but isn't even 1.75 vols CO2 too much? TastyBrew has the average CO2 volume for a brown ale listed as 1.3-2.0, which already seems like a large range. I would expect that for this beer especially considering how "light" it is in terms of ABV should have a carbonation closer to 1.3-1.5 volumes. Has anyone tried this level of carbonation for this recipe?
