Your recipe looks solid, I'm thinking of dividing a batch and ferment one with Bry97 and the other with Nova Lager, been testing Nova cold and hot and I like how it let the hops shine in the beer

I remember Gordon Strong in his recipe book said munich is the new crystal, no crystal on his ipa recipes

Kai was ahead of its time, great loss in the community

You are correct, I highly recommend this stuff, all my brewhouse have it: https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=36307&catid=864

I do it for something like Nottingham if fermented cold.

I agree that it is a very underrated ingredient.

Just use Sinamar

The same with Brun'Water

It works for Gordon and not you. Also the mashout method of steeping dark grains I believe is from Guinness not Gordon. I agree with Martin this technique depends on the recipe and what are your goals.

For a Schwars using husked dark grains I think it's a good way to smooth it out, Sinamar or using Carafa Special is my go-to for this type of beer and checking mash pH.

Hard to describe it as peachy but I always found the esters of US-05 a very common trait of homebrews back in the day, I always avoided using 05 and use liquid strains to get more clean flavor profile.

Is it the one that Fermentis sells? Also, what does Brett contribute to the flavor profile of an English Porter?

Lol this is spot on in the homebrew community

Have you tested dry wlp860?

Is there a picture of the mashcap used on mashing? I see the mash cap looks like a false bottom filter not sure how it seals to avoid HSA

I liked this idea from the other lodo forum, it is quite a challenge finding a light kettle cap that floats and fits nicely in my kettle. I saw these sous-vide balls available in Amazon that are cheap, maybe i pull the trigger to use them on my mash and post-boil.

Looks solid, I want to try one with S-23 and WLP860

I thought Baltic porter was a version of imperial stout (Imperial Porter Stout) that originated in the Baltic region in the 19th century. Zythophile has a good reading though: https://zythophile.co.uk/2021/01/16/its-baltic-porter-day-a-good-excuse-for-punching-a-few-baltic-porter-myths-in-the-face/

Is there a similar manufacturer that sells continental hops extract as hallertau or saaz?

Yeah subtle esters are similar to wine, it's been a while since I used this yeast, but I'm not sure if it has similar tasting notes nowadays.
