So right now I've got 5 gallons of an imperial stout in the primary (~1.094 OG). Yesterday I came up with the crazy idea that I should split the batch, with 4 gallons being racked onto cocoa and vanilla, and 1 gallon being siphoned into a glass container and putting Brett or some kind of other sour yeast in it.
So a few questions:
1) Has anyone ever made a funky imperial stout (or something similar) and if so what were the results?
2) I've never used sour yeast, but I've seen people mention they have trouble with abv>9%. Where can I get a strain that can handle higher percentages? Any bottle dregs that you know of?
