Looks nice! What do you think about using California ale yeast instead? I have some from previous brew?

I like the Irish and English yeasts because of the flavors they impart, however, this one came out terrifically smooth and not so much of the typical British beer notes, so I can see how a cali yeast would work fine.

(*FYI for most of my brew I use safale US-05 - I was just trying to step it up a bit)

Try it and tell me how it turns out!
