I have been sitting in some Bry-97 waiting to brew Hopfenundmalz's Ballantine as well as the one from Steele's IPA book. Damn, I need to brew those soon!

I used about 5% sugar in my last batch to compensate for the increased mouthfeel. I like the results.

97 might be nice in a RIS. Usually use 1450, my have to split out 6 gallons for 97.

Subbed it for some base malt, keeping the same OG.

BRY-97 is a great yeast, just don't panic when it appears to do nothing for days after pitching.  I've witnessed this a dozen times.
