Great stuff, thanks for the encouragement. I plan to brew this twice (and make 2 stouts) by culturing up a pack of WLP004. I may tweak it a bit after tasting and before brewing for the second run, If so I will come back here in 6 to 8 weeks. Happy brewing!

Any input on my first Irish Red ale before I order ingredients? https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/492533/irish-red
