I've searched the site and seen a few things but am curious how to handle my current High OG beer (1.076 at 68 degrees) My plan is to primary for 2 weeks secondary for 2 weeks and then bottle condition for at least 3 weeks. Is this reasonable? I've read several threads that mentioned yeast that failed to carbonate in the bottle due to high alcohol content and whipped yeast from too long of a secondary. This recipe is supposed to produce about 7.7 abv and is fermented from a healthy starter of wyeast 3333.
This is not a "to secondary or not to secondary" question. The idea of unsatisfactory bottle conditioning never even entered my mind. Is that even a concern for a 7.7 to 8.0 abv beer? If so, what is the best course of action?
Thanks,
