Been here, not all that far away from me. Dunrobin Castle?

If bottling uncarbonated beer from a bucket into a bottle with a bottling stick it's better to do it warm, less oxygen pick-up. If packaging carbonated beer using counter pressure you need everything cold or it doesn't work well.

I've used Chevallier malt a few times, your assessment is good. There are some legacy hops around. Goldings Cobb, for example, is sometimes available. Why not naturally carbonate the beer?

Yes, you're right, it doesn't look off the wall at all, under the circumstances. You're also right about the yeast, I thought I would try fermenting a bit warmer and not under pressure, see if I can get the yeast to emulate British yeast and produce some esters. Probably end up a bit banana but...

I have some packets of malt and hops getting old, thought I might as well use them up, what's to lose? This will be a 22 litre batch. Base malts to use or lose... Crisp Maris Otter pale malt, 1.010Kg (29%) Rye Malt, 697.8g (20%) Simpsons Golden Promise pale malt, 680.3g (19%) Oat malt, 228.5g...
