I apologize, I must have accidentally posted that partial sentence...I think this was related to the post where I said the the yeast will tolerate 9-11%

I will try to remember to come back here and log the final gravity and then later on for how well it conditioned

it is supposed to be My desire was never have a 10% ABV,,,I over boiled and did not liquor back enough, reason for the high OG, so if I end up with something between 8-9% ABV, then that is fine and my bet is if I bottle this weekend it will be about 8.4%. At this level it should condition in...

US-05 is supposed to be tolerant up to 11%. I always wondered when I siphon from the carboy to the bottling bucket and when I always siphon a little trub , is this adding some yeast to the the beer that will be part of the conditioning process. I assume yes.

I will check that out, thanks

So, if these bottling yeasts are used, then is a priming sugar even needed?

"by" adding....sorry for typo

Isn't there a concern about creating gushers but adding this additional bottle conditioning yeast?

hmm, I think US-05 should not have that issue

I have not heard of using a bottling yeast. Why would that be needed? I never had an issue with bottle conditioning.

I have had high gravity brews before, but never attained a 10% final reading. Have ended with a 8.13% with about this same OG I have now

not a kit...all grain brewing and I do BIAG. I ended with a 1.093 OG and added 1 dry packet of US-05, shook it up for 5 minutes and added 2 packs of hydrated US-05.

thanks. I have been brewing this way for quite a while and have had any gushers for some time and never a bottle bomb(thank goodness). I will probably let it extend into next week....about 3.5 weeks.and go from there. I may invest in a Rapt Pill, seems like some people like it and I assume it...

oh, yeah, I do calc the alcohol content as well

I As to how I bottle, just the normal way...add the primer into the brew in a bucket, bottle and cap and drink in a couple of weeks
