Whats the highest OG for WLP300?

Heres a recipe I did for a Belgian Dark Strong/Tripel:

6.00 lb Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 52.75 %
2.00 lb Munich Malt - 10L (10.0 SRM) Grain 17.58 %
1.00 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 8.79 %
0.75 lb Wheat, Torrified (1.7 SRM) Grain 6.59 %
0.13 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 1.10 %
1.50 oz Hallertauer [4.80 %] (60 min) Hops 20.1 IBU
1.50 lb Candi Sugar, Amber (75.0 SRM) Sugar 13.19 %
1 Pkgs SafBrew Specialty Ale (DCL Yeast #T-58) Yeast-Ale

Est Original Gravity: 1.084 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.021 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 8.19 %

It was good, but I think Im going to cut the candi sugar down to 1 lb which would probably put the OG around 1.080..

I want to see if I can get a Weissier taste out of it.

If I did a starter, would 1.080 be too high for WLP300?

Interesting.

According to the Wyeast website, 3068 (ostensibly the same strain) is listed as having an alcohol tolerance of 10%.

As a point of clarification, that ain't no Tripel. The grist for a Tripel should be simple - Pils + sugar, nothing more.

Technically you're right.. but it tastes like one. Probably because of the 1.5 lbs of candi sugar.. make it pretty strong and alcohol tasting.

I think if I cut out half a pound it'll be a little maltier.

But either way, I might give this a shot.. try out the WLP300.

Might be a good idea though to do it pretty warm.. around 75?
