So, This weekend I am brewing a batch of Honey Wheat Blueberry (grain bill below) that my cousin concocted and tastes amazing. But the original gravity will be HUGE at 1.107. So, I am looking at throwing two different yeasts at it for the high OG. Has anyone done this or do you typically use...

I've been a long time drinker of craft beers and i have a cousin who brews beer. He's kinda been the inspiration behind me doing this. But yesterday was my first brew ever and I made the jump straight to all grain. So, the beer has been fermenting for the last 24 hrs. I just went in to check...
