It looks like a good one to me. A good bready malt flavor will hopefully come out with that yeast and the biscuit malt. What temperature are you fermenting at? If you can, try to cool the wort down to fermentation temps (or cooler) and then pitch the yeast.

Your kegging procedure should work out too. Just be careful not to overcarb!

I just got done.... Chilled to 72 and pitched. Will ferment at 68-70

OK so we are day 2 on 30 PSI and it is looking good!! Had my first taste today and I would say this is a GREAT Summer beer....slight hoppy taste in the beginning and full of flavor...no strong bite so even the SWMBO can drink it. I think I will maybe add some honey next time to get a little sweetness in it.

Dropping down to serving psi now, 10PSI and I have a nice 3/4"-1" head on a Imperial Pint and some beautiful little fizzies coming from the bottom of the glass....forgot the irish moss this time during brew day BUT I can still see my fizzy friends.

This is the first brew I forgot to get the OG, but the FG was 1.013 and according to my calculator if I hit the OG that I was suppose to I have a 5.1% ABV summer drink...Well lets drink up and see if we can catch a buzz!!
