In the 2nd Brew Strong episode on high gravity brewing, Jamil and John continue their discussion on fermentability and talk about controlling it in an all-grain brewing scenario. Learn more about high gravity beer and dial in your big homebrew here!
Love the show. I bought How TO Brew 2 years ago when I started home brewing. I use it as a reference all the time still. I just read the recipe for Cascadian Dark Ale in this issue of BYO. Should I use the WLP001 like they recommend of should I use a yeast that can handle the higher gravity a little better. Thanks guys.

Partial Mashby Thomas, July 26, 2010
In the show, y'all touch on partial mash to get to the 1.1 OG (or better). This is the process I use to do my BarleyWines.
Wondering if, it makes since to do the Beano process (5 tablets then denature during the boil) with the Extract delivering the majority of the fermintable sugars.
So, is Extract ferminables easier for the Yeast use? Or is it the same as all-grain, thus making the Beano effective/necessary to increase the ferminability of the wort?
