alright... I was trying to make a German brown ale but now it looks like I’ve brewed a barley wine/Strong Belgian beer haha
Due to a mistake in brewing my last beer (using too much lme), I shot over the predicted 8% ABV and landed 1.120 og which has a potential of being 14% if it attenuates 75-80%...I used 1 and a half packets of White labs German kölsch yeast and a little bit of (frozen) lutra kveik and a decent amount of nutrient... I am worried that the Yeasts are going to stress out because their alcohol tolerance is at its highest 10/11%... Should I add more yeast or am I fine? If I should use more yeast what should I use?
grain bill
5 lb Vienna (step mash)
5 lb Munich lme
7 lb Bavarian wheat lme
0.19 oz molasses
