Hi guys,
Yesterday I brewed a massive (to me) DIPA with an OG of 1.091. I want this bad boy to dry out all the way to 1.013 or better, preferably 1.010. I'm about to pitch the first dose of yeast, a 2L starter of washed 3rd use WLP090 San Diego Super. On my next brew I'm hoping to go to fourth use on it.
However, to get this DIPA to dry out, I'm planning to pitch a starter of WLP099 Super High Gravity once the 090 gets the beer down to 1.035 or so. I want the yeasts mixed in this brew but not in the next one. Would I be best off taking the time to rack to a secondary fermenter and then pitching the 099? Whenever I rack I displace the oxygen with CO2 so I'm not too concerned about oxygenation.
Thanks,
Jason
