Hi
I'm currently brewing a very strong stout. I'm hoping for an ABV of about 15%. My plan is to then age it on oak and freeze concentrate.
All of the instructions that Ive found for this online simply say:
Fill up a container
Freeze
Turn upside down and leave over a container
Wait for half to melt
My concern is that this is said to take a few hours...I would never normally expose my beer to the open air for a few hours...what are the risks of infection?
Does the higher ABV counter the risk of infection or should I still be worried?
I'm not at all interested in the legalities of this, please refrain from legal commentary. thanks
