I will put Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Baltic Porter today. I will use Apollo 30ltr Snub Nose Pressure Fermenter. Can I do porter under pressure, or I should do it without a pressure?
I will put it for now without a pressure, hope someone replies by then and I can tweak the process if necessary
Thanks a lot
 
Do you havw temperature control? Which yeast does the kit come with?
No, I don’t have temperature control, it is in my room, the temperature is around 21 Celsius. The yeast is Mangrove Jack’s Californian Lager Yeast 412801, no idea what it means

That's a lager yeast that ferments at ale temperatures. No harm in pressure fermenting with it, especially if you don't have any temp control.

You can do anything you like. A better question is - why would you want to ferment a porter under pressure?

The normal reason for fermenting under pressure is to reduce esters and other flavour compounds, whereas normally one would want those things to be present in a porter.

But it's your beer, you do what you want with it.
