cutoff for high/low gravity beer?

[Col224]

I was wondering what the cutoff is for low/high gravity beer?

usually you can go by 1.050 as being the kinda halfway point between one pack of yeast, and oh my god, are you really gonna use that much yeast.

I don't think there are formally defined numbers, but I tend to think of anything below 1.045 or so as being low gravity, and above 1.070 or so as being high gravity

I figure the change is at 1.06. Below that Wyeast says you can pitch an Activator smack pack, above that Wyeast says make a starter.

I know many (most?) make a starer anyway, but still, 1.06 seems a natural cutoff to me.

Ten sixty. I think it's the sweet spot. Many of my best beers are right there.

thanks,

other than pitch more yeast/wait longer...is there anything special you have to do with high gravity brews? I'm thinking of doing one over the summer.
