For this beer to be successful a few key points need to be followed. The first is picking the correct yeast strain, one that is known to be able to have high alcohol tolerance. The second is that by starting the brew with all the sugar necessary to gain +12% beers subjects the yeast to high osmotic stress and will hinder fermentation, so it is best to start with wort just over 1.100. And finally once fermentation has decreased and moving approximately 1SG point per 24hrs, it is time to start adding dextrose to achieve target ABV.
