My local store carries this strain of yeast that creates up to 20% ABV. It's supposed to be used for making liqeurs and distilled beverages, but I was wondering if I could throw it in a beer recipe to make some super strong crunk ale. My two concerns are:
A) My beer would end up having a slight hint of rubbing alcohol flavor to it
B) Obviously these yeast ferment a lot more than regular brewers yeast, which means increased CO2, so I'd be worried about a potential problem with an exploding bucket/leak/etc.
Here's a link to my local homebrewing store's website. The yeast I am talking about is called "Super Yeast 4 OZ".
