Hi,
I am using this yeast for a braggot, because of it clean malt forward and soft finish. White labs list it as medium tolerance 5-10%. Normally i find most yeast will exceed label claims especially for simple sugars like honey. Currently my recipe is around 9% avb but I wondering what I can actually push this to.
Does anyone have experience using this yeast on high gravity brews? I will be making a generous starter, using O2 and nutrient. I will also be adding the honey to primary once the base beer has finished. I will be bottle conditioning so the yeast needs to .o.k to finish that job also, what can I expect??
Cheers
