I am making a bourbon porter for the first time and will be bottling. The Porter will be between 9 -10% alc. Prior to bottling I am going to add 1 1/2 to 2 cups of bourbon depending on taste. With this increase in alc I am wondering if the Wyeast American ale can handle the high alc enough to produce co2. I know this yeast says it can handle between 10 and 12% but it seems I will be pushing the limit.
My other idea was to keg and drop the beer to 33F and then just pour into the bottles and cap them.
Suggestions? Anyone ever done the latter?
