Ok I made a kitchen sink brew today. I mashed 6 lb golden promise, 2 lb Munich, 2 lb Carared, 4 oz roasted barley then I added in 1 lb wheat malt and 4 lb pilsen DME. I boiled it for 2 hours. I added in alot of hops (lost count of ounces).
I ended up with 5 gallons of dark brown wort with a starting gravity of 1.097 or 23.8 brix.
I pitched 2 vials of WL Irish Ale yeast.
I tasted the wort and it has a strong malty character but the hops balance it out. But the wort was thick.
Should I pitch some high gravity yeast or can the Irish Ale yeast WLP004 handle it?
