I'm brewing a version of your recipe. I've read that Lacto doesn't like oxygen, and I was thinking about waiting until I added the Sacch and Brett before aerating the wort. Any thoughts on that plan?

I'd say that Aurora (also known as Super Styrian) would qualify as an underrated hop. I've used it as a bittering hop in stouts, porters and belgians and I've been very happy with the results.

That tool works fine on standard 5 gallons, but it's worthless on the Austin Homebrew 7.9 gallon buckets. It just breaks the lid.

My knee, OTOH, is a universal tool. :ban:

Put the bucket on the ground, and drive your knee into the middle of the lid while tugging on the lip of the lid. It makes it a LOT easier to open.
