I spent the last 20 minutes trying to edit this post, so disregard it. WLP004? 8% might be a little ambitious, but certainly doable.

 

[Stauffbier]

wlp004 Irish Ale

dang, smagee just beat me to it..

I just brewed an Imperial stout with wlp004 and it's been in the primary for 9 days. I'm already at 8.7%

 

[BrewingViking]

Is it WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast?

Winner

 

[smagee]

I was going off of recollection of its described tolerance as "medium-high"; I don't recall an actual percentage range. That said, I was fairly certain my imperial red goes in the 9%s pretty regularly, so it was a safe bet.

Safe bet indeed. I think I recently read that it can ferment to 10%, but don't quote me on that..

On with the game..
