Wanting to brew a big ipa with an OG of 1.120 and FG 1.015 so an abv of 14.1%. The abv tolerance for that yeast is up to 15%. However the max attenuation is 83 %and with my gravity numbers that is 86%. I plan on mashing low 148-149. Obviously a big starter. Yeast nutrients in the boil. Pure O2 at pitch and again 6 hours later. Corn sugar added after high krausen and slowly raising temps as fermentation slows. In theory it sounds like it should work out for me. It is my first "big" beer. My only concern is the fact that I would need higher attenuation than what is listed but at the same time it says it can handle 15%. What do you guys think?
