I just brewed a 8.7 ABV RIS. It is already tasting good and I am excited for the end result in 6 or so months.
It is at a steady terminal gravity of 1.027 which is right around me expected terminal gravity.
I fermented with Wyeast 1056. The yeast has flocced out at this point and the alcohol is fairly high.
I am going to bottle on Sunday. I bought a packet of US-05 to pitch today, prior to bottling. However, I'm wondering if this is necessary and whether the US-05 will just be killed off by the high alcohol environment upon pitching.
Should I bother? Will it carb up over the 6 months I lay it down without the added yeast?
