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?
