so I have 5 gal belgian strong golden ale sitting in primary right now. I would like to pull off a gallon and give the gallon some funk. first plan of attack is to get some dreggs from a commercial bottle or two grow it in a starter for a week or two. then decant and rack beer onto it. was thinking about adding some sugars for the new bugs but dont know if the yeast will give the bugs a chance at it.
concerns: this beer is pretty high abv. it is shaping up into between 9%-10%. I dont know how much this matters but i have read IBUs have an effect. the beer is about 27 IBUs.
does my plan seem like it could work or should i just leave all five gallons together and try this with a different beer from the get go?
