    I am doing a very nice 10% ABV and 100IBU IPA. Yeast I will use is WLP099.

    I wonder what other beer would be good to pitch onto the yeast cake, after I am done with the IPA? Can you also link to a partial mash recipe for the beer you are recommending?

    I have a great ~8% 100+ IBU beer in bottles and, man, I love a good hoppy Imperial IPA.

    Do you want to make one beer and pitch the IIPA onto that yeast cake, or are you looking to pitch another beer onto the IIPA's yeast cake? Usually, after you ferment a high grav batch, the yeast is too stressed out to use again.

    I had a feeling yeast would be too worn out. Alright, on to next rookie "idea" :drunk:
