Hi people. Looking to brew my 2nd 10% abv Imperial Honey Porter. I kegged the first batch but plan on bottling the next one. All went well with the first one, I primaried for 3 weeks, secondary for 4weeks, then served with only 6 days in the keg.
I plan to bottle condition a 2nd batch but have read that larger ABV beers don't bottle condition very well because the yeast is stressed.
Target OG 1.090 and FG should be 1.015. I will be fermenting with 2 pkgs US05.
What are your suggestions for bottle conditioning this bad boy?

Thanks
 
Add a pack of rehydrated champagne yeast halfway through racking to you bottling bucket. It will carbonate in about two weeks IME.
 
Yeah, it looks like it should work great. I only pay a dollar for a sachet of champagne yeast so it is my go to.
