Wyeast 1214

[bubbachunk]

So I brewed up a triple about a month ago and hit an unexpectedly high efficiency of ~90%.I ended up with a starting gravity of 1.094 and due to my low mash temp my final gravity was 1.010 giving me an alcohol by volume of 11%!

Has anyone else seen this alcohol content from this yeast? I know Wyeast says it should only reach 9% but it is not uncommon for a yeast to go a bit higher. Now my dilemma is do I attempt to bottle condition as normal or pitch some champagne yeast to ensure carbonation in the bottle?

bump in case someone who has used this yeast has not seen it yet

I wouldn't use champagne yeast since it could potentially ferment more sugars that your beer yeast didn't take care of. I would use a high gravity beer yeast.
