Notes

Pitch onto NZ Ordinary Bitter yeast cake.

Fermentation plan is to start at 18ºC with 20psi top pressure till 50%AA, then raise 1ºC per 24hrs. Let sit at 24ºC 50% longer than it took to reach FG.

Cold crash, and transfer to secondary/aging keg and age under stairs for 6 months. I'll probably do a small re-fermentation in the keg just to clean up oxygen and use a spunding valve to keep things civil.
