Great hops and full flavor at bottling

Do a mini-mash (4 quarts of water @ 152F) on the stovetop for a full hour to get the Munich sugars out. I brought the acidity down with about 3/4ths teaspoon of baking soda before the mash. Do a late addition of the liquid extract at 30 minutes. This puppy went 12 days in the primary (Actual OG=1.056), then 2 full weeks in the secondary (FG=1.015). What 's not in the recipe generated is that I mixed a half a packet of dry Nottingham in with the Windsor (started on a cup of sterile water only). The fermentation started furiously for 2 days, then took over a week to slowly tail off. Very slight diacetyl but strong caramel in the aroma mix at bottling (today). Hops signtaure is full and strong. Mouth finish is smooth.
