Notes

Based on https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-british-strong-ale with some input from https://homebrewacademy.com/british-strong-ale-recipe/ (e.g., adding flaked barley)

Aiming for a mash at 153. No molasses.

Oxygen 1L/minute for 1 minute, aiming for 10-14 ppm.

Fermenting low, will start with a good yeast pitch. Our yeast has a range of 64-74. Going to follow the source instructions of starting at 60, raise to 65 gradually for 3 days, then raise to 70 gradually for 3 additional days.
