Bottling "Big Beer"

[karljrberno]

When Bottling big beer I understand its good practice to RE-Pitch yeast to make sure the exchange tacks place .

How ever ............. It sure takes a long time to carbonate and turn around to a good drinkable beer .

QUESTION : Will a high alcohol beer 10% to 12% slow the yeast down ?

Make it not perform the same way as it would on a 5% ABV ?

Depends on the strain. Some cannot perform to the requirements of proper carbonation because the yeast is sitting in its own shiit, and trying to work under pressure. Look for a high alcohol yeast strain.
