ABV tolerance for San Diego Super Yeast

[Brewmex41]

Ive searched and searched, but all i can find is "high" for alcohol tolerance. I want to know if anyone knows just how high I can ferment with this yeast? I want to brew a barleywine, pitch on a us-05 cake i have and use something else to get it passed the alcohol tolerance of us-05. If I have to, ill get wpl099 super high gravity yeast because it says it can handle 25% to finish, but I already have the wpl090 on hand.

I usually do average gravity brews, but I want to see just how far I can push a brew since my 3 gallon carboy will be free and I will have time this weekend.

Thanks!

How high are you trying to go? I've seen the Chico strain go 12%+ with no issue

As high as I can go. Just to see if I can brew something with tons of alcohol. Higher than 12%

Anyone know how high wpl090 can go? 12%? 18%? 20+%?

Did you email white labs? They are super responsive about strains. Maybe see what numbers they throw around?
