feed yeast in steps

If you want full attenuation for this brew, you might want to consider feeding the yeast in steps instead of throwing them into such a high gravity environment. They might get tired at, say, 15% and kick out on you. Brew, adding only about half the sugar. Let it ferment for awhile (a week? two?), then rack onto the other half of the sugar (boiled in an appropriate amount of water). If that's too much of a bother, you might alternately consider aerating this one for the first several days. Once or twice a day, give it a vigorous stir to mix in some air. Maybe even ferment it open (covered, of course) for a few days. And pitch a huge starter. Huge. The extra air will help the yeast stay healthy when the alcohol level gets high. Good luck!

i may combine your idea to aerate, with my buddy's idea to use a belgian yeast first to add chrachteristics before using the super high gravity yeast thanks again.....more comments after i brew it fat man
