i am making an imperial stout. i made it 8 months ago and it is very sweet still. i tried beano and that didnt do much. i tried redstar preimier cuvee and that didnt do anything. will turbo ferment to dryness?
Your Imperial Stout is way out range for the style. Your O.G. must be 1.162 which is way high for an Imperial Stout (normal range is 1.075 to 1.115).
If you get it down to the range of an Imperial Stout I brewed on New Years Day, (1.022), you will end up with a beer with over 18% Alcohol by Volume.
Let's see your recipe for this libation.
Try Lalvin EC-1118 or K1V-1116
Lalvin Strains
will either ferment until dryness? i have added 4 packets of pasteur champagne yeast already, with no results. will the lalvin strains work any better?
No they are roughly the same type of bug
But - did you start your champagne yeast with a starter?
The general process is to start one of these with a starter and then add dilute in your wort to get the yeast ready for the alcohol shock. They should never be pitched dry - as if it were a virgin wort etc.
