Alright ive got a plan for my brother and sister in laws first family addition, BEER! Heres the plan, i want to make a BIG Oaked Russian Imperial Stout, like OG of 1.100+. Why do i want to make such a huge beer? Well i want to give my brother in law a 1ltr flip top bottle on the day of his/her birth and 5, 22oz bottles to be consumed each birthday until its 5th birthday. I want a huge beer so that it can be aged for this amount of time without going bad. I've done some research on the higher OG beers but i wanted to run it by the forum before i get this beast bubbling.
1. Huge yeast starter, 2000ml+ wyeast 1728 scottish ale
2. Aerated twice with pure o2, once before the pitch, and again after the primary fermentation has started. how long?
3. Extra yeast nutrients
4. Blow off tube.
5. Space to secondary for 3+ months
Now with a 10.5%+ beer will i need to re-pitch at bottling? Should i use as much as i used to ferment or will the amount in a regular smack pack work?
Is there anything that i am forgetting?
