I posted an idea for a new "big" beer earlier this week and didn't get any responses, so I will rephrase the question.
I want to do a beer that's between 12 and 15% ABV, using apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a nice dark roasty beer for a base.
My idea was to start with something simple, malty and roasty...then do the apple/cinnamon/brown sugar concoction on top of it. Middle of the road ale yeast--then finish with a champagne yeast to make sure all the sugar gets used.
Ideas? Thoughts? Angry retorts?
