Hey everyone,
Just brewed NB’s 3 gallon BIAB BBA Porter. Ended up with an OG of 1.087 for the 3 gallons I yielded. I pitched the Wyeast Scottish yeast, but am afraid that the OG is too high for this yeast and could result in a high FG.
I have 2 packs of US-05 in my fridge in case of emergencies... should I make a starter with one of those and pitch into the beer, or do people think my beer will be fine?
Because of COVID-19, I’m unable to get another pack of the Scottish yeast along with other supplies, so I’m hoping that what I’ve done and what I have lying around will help this brew.
P.S. - I want this beer to have a pretty high ABV, so anything I can do to help achieve that is what I want.
