I need ideas for a good yeast to use on this beer. if I have 63% brewhouse eff. it'll be about 10.2% or so but if I get 84% it'll be up to 14.1 ish. I plan on making a starter, then splitting that up, making 2 big starters. @ full krausen I'm pitching the first. When action stops I'm going to rack to 2nd check the gravity and if I'm satisfied I'm going to toss in just a little bit so when it comes time to bottle I'll get carbonation. But if it's not there yet I'm going to pitch that starter too. I am going to shoot for 150*F mash temp. If I could get more ROGUE PACMAN I'd use that. I have 2 baggies left... not sure what i'm saving them for but don't want to use them up quite yet. But since I don't I'm looking for something that will make this beer rock! Something that might add another level of flavor. I need some suggestions for this massive beer. And I want a different yeast too. No 1056. It's a nice yeast, just bored with it.
ok, nuts and bolts!
