Enjoy the day.
OP travels pretty well over here. I would love to try it on cask someday.

I was lucky to try some on cask in London a month ago, the carbonation rate of bottle beer I think take away from this beer

OP seems to be one of those beers you can find everywhere on cask in Edinburgh, one of my regular pubs in Glasgow (Bon Accord) often has it too. Great beer on cask although you can easily drink a few before you realise you can't walk properly.

Good strong fermentation over the first 48hours
Lost about 3 pints via the 'blow off' tube in the demijohn.

Had 2 pints on cask in Bristol. The Ship? on street running down behind Zero degrees, opposite the BRI.
The first was from the end of the barrel, and it was edging towards being off. The next one was from a fresh cask. Wonderful.
You don't feel any pain on OP

Some of the best OP I had was at the Station Inn at Ribblehead. The four of us had made the mistake of not getting cash and the Landlord was happy for us to put food and beer an a tab and pay for it with a cheque . . . . Serious mistake on our part. Worst of it was that we were supervising D Of E award expeditions the following day, involving trips to Ingleborough and Whernside summits.
Damn fine beer though, Hill inn is another good hostelry on that road
