Ive been reading up on Danstar Vs. Fermentis yeasts, and Ive noticed a lot of bad reviews for Windsor and a lot of ok to good reviews on US-04. I did read on Danstars technical info that their pitching rate is 1g/L, which would require roughly 20g per 5 gallons. Fermentis recommends 50-80g/hL, or 10-15g per 5 gallons, unless my conversions are wrong. Seems the big complaint on Windsor is it leaves an incredibly high FG (even though it is only a moderately attenuating yeast). Is it possible people are underpitching this yeast? For anyone thats used this yeast, have you been using 1 or 2 packets?
