I am looking to brew some higher-alcohol beers. I have lots of brewing toys, but no O2 (yet).
I just about to bottle a Scottish 90 or wee heavy (1.058 OG). I pitched two smack packs to try to compensate for having poor oxygenation. -by poor, I mean I just poured the wort slowly from the kettle to the fermenter. I know that yeast doesn't always need O2, mostly in the growth phase. -can I overcome the lack of direct O2 injection by pitching onto the cake from my last beer, or am I still starting out with my yeasts at a disadvantage?
