Looks great! Your beer looks really clear. I'm not sure the Irish Moss does anything either, but still use it! My switch to a brew bag for a mash filter has shot my efficiency up, except clarity is more of an issue. A little Biofine Clear really seems to clear things up. Are you using anything to fine after fermentation? I just kegged a pale this morning. Mine was like yours with 10% white wheat, but with Golden Promise and victory in place of crystal. I used Amarillo and Taiheke hops with voss yeast under pressure. Definitely not a traditional yeast, but with the pressure ferment it seems pretty clean and adds a little tangerine flavor that compliments the hops well. I'll look forward to checking out the podcast if you post it. Cheers!
I did not add anything for fining. The beer had a slight haze that cleared up after a few weeks in the keg. I think BRY-97 has a reputation for dropping clear faster than Chico. My beers made with Voss tend to stay hazy.
Btw I really like the idea of 2.5 gal batch size. I sort of have ADHD for hobbies and don’t want to invest too much money into brewing, so gonna stay on the stove.
Aeration is more important with liquid yeast and higher gravity worts. In this case, I was using a full pack of liquid yeast into only 2.5 gallons of a moderate gravity wort. I get some aeration passing the wort through the strainer. I have an aquarium pump aerator that I use some times. Yeast nutrient is less needed in beer than other beverages like wine and mead. I use it now and then. It is probably more important when using harvested yeast. I hear that Kveik yeast benefits from added nutrient. I really enjoy the mid-size stove top batches. Sometimes a good beer can go a bit too fast, but it is easier for me to fit in a brew day inside.
Great work!
Thanks! Today I learned that Brulosophy has a UA-cam channel. With all your "free time", I am sure you can start filming some video content. ;)

Looking at BeeerSmith you did not state the weight of Warrior Hops to use (Boil 30mins) ?
This batch used 0.15 oz / 4 g of Warrior at the start of the 30 minute boil.
@@CascadesHomebrew Thank you for your prompt reply
What do you think about aerating wort? Ever done it? Also do you ever use yeast nutrient?
