Starter strategy for a B. Strong Ale

[etrain666]

Hey all,

I plan to brew a strong ale that will use 3 pounds of sugar added after fermentation is well under way.

So, I will be pitching into a wort that should be right around 1.06. Do I plan a starter big enough for the 1.06 hoping there will be enough propagation in the initial fermentation to handle the sugar add? Or should I plan for enough starter to handle the full 1.088 gravity post sugar?

I would do a starter for 1.06 like you said there will be yeast growth at the beginning of fermentation.

Add some yeast nutrient with the sugar.
