Quick backstory, a buddy and I are planning to do a Duvel clone that compromises about 75% of the fluid volume then add in 25% fermented Pinot Griz grape must.
For the Duvel portion it'll be:
90% Belgian Pilsner
10% White Table Sugar
Saaz for bittering
Strying Goldlings for flavor/aroma
30 IBUs
OG 1.070
Wyeast 1388
For the Pinot I'm not sure what yeast to use or if it would be a better idea to ferment them all together instead of separate. I kind of like the idea of separate ferms then back blending to taste. With all that sugar in there the 1388 worries me. Should I try something fast and dry like a champagne EC1118? Thoughts?
