As my next batch will be a simple Porter, just wondering which would be the best yeast to use. Danstar Windsor, Danstar Nottingham or Safale S-04 ? Or any other suggestions?

I used Windsor with good results, finished high at 1020 which I think is typical of this yeast.

Nottingham. Windsor does not finish low and leaves alot of gravity behind.

Wlp002, Wlp007 are good options.

Irish ale too.
