I am brewing an Imperial IPA with 12 lbs of LME. I am doing 6 lbs for the whole boil and 6 lbs at knockout. I am using Safale US-5 and am considering pitching extra yeast. Does anyone think this is a good idea for a beer with such a high starting specific gravity? Are there any potential downsides of pitching extra yeast? I have posted the recipe below. Thanks to all for the great help!
