Finishing with 099

[bluemoose]

Has anyone brought a yeast to its tolerance, then pitched 099 to finish? Looking to find out if it will change the flavor profile substantially.

Works best if you start it with a 1 liter starter and pitch at high krausen.

I was planning on a 1 gal starter.

Did it change the flavor profile from the original yeast?

No the original yeast will set the flavor profile. You do not need a gallon starter. A liter at high krausen will work.

Cool. I have a Belgian that was much higher gravity than I expected. I pitched with a big started, but maxed the wlp500. Want to keep that flavor profile, but ferment out the last 20 gravity points.
