I'm considering brewing a big beer like a Belgian Dark Strong (BCS recipe, 1.103 OG) soon to test the limits of my mash tun. I'd make a starter, 4 week primary & bottle before a long storage.
I always chill and decant my starters. Is there a way to keep a portion of the starter viable for adding it to the bottling bucket to ensure carbonation with the original yeast?
Or is it better to not add yeast, or choose dry yeast (S-05) instead for bottling?
