hello -
i'd like to try making a high-gravity belgian. i won't be buying an pure oxygen aeration system anytime soon, so i'll have to depend on splashing/shaking/venturi/etc - AKA 8 ppm. i will be using a high-gravity yeast (abbey II).
what's the highest OG i can safely go for? should i try keeping my OG under a certain number? i realize that pure O2 isn't a necessity to brew strong beers, but there must be some upper limit that will keep me on the safe side...
what is the highest gravity beer that you brewed successfully without using pure O2?
