so im brewing my 5th batch of extract based beer and my first attempt at a higher gravity beer. i'm starting with 10# of light LME, a couple pounds of specialty grains for steeping and 1# dark belgian candy sugar. i picked up a packet of Safbrew T58. if i make a healthy starter with that and pitch, do you think that will be enough to ferment all the way or will i possibly have to add a second yeast? also, if i do need to pitch a second yeast, do you recommend using the same strain or is there a preferred strain of yeast for finishing? i know that 11# of fermentable sugar isn't a huge beer, but its bigger than anything i've done before. i can post a full recipe if that makes a difference, thanks in advance for any help.
