Your reply is perfectly appropriate and appreciated. And you are perfectly right the yeast IS doing all the work even though it feels like I’m doing it lol! Thanks again

Awesome, thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it. Sometimes it’s easy to overthink things, I guess it’s best to just keep it simple. Very happy to have a place where I can go to ask questions from people who have more experience than me.
