Hi,
I'm still pretty new to this, but I couldn't find any information on this idea I had. I noticed that different strains of yeast have different alcohol tolerances. So I was wondering if this has this been done before.
Could you make a beer with a very high OG and use yeast that has a low alcohol tolerance. So when that % alcohol is reached, move the beer to a different carboy. Then add new yeast, that have a higher tolerance, and would essentially take over from there like a 2nd primary fermentation.
Then flavors from different yeast could be mixed?
Just curious. Thanks!
