    They won't even state who their contract-brewer is :rolling_eyes:. The only significant info on any of their many social media sites (all of which get infrequently updated) is a link to this BA Magazine article.

    Sure, those crazy big ones like Dark Lord are going to push or exceed the yeasts alcohol tolerance.

    There isn’t as much to convert in those roast grains, as the starches have been carbonized. Of course, those aren’t sugars.

    Well, that is indeed a problem.

    I really wonder if this dude truly wants this to be a successful business endeavor!?!:confused:

    Cheers!

    Not published to spec, absolutely. You make a new beer, already have the labels made, checked with the legal department, spent the money for the hardware, and then the beer finishes at a different FG than anticipated. It will still likely released, but different final numbers.

    It might actually be the opposite. I am a type 2 diabetic and I get the same symptoms from time to time, which I have found is actually due to a low blood sugar. I did some research and learned that after so many high alcohol content beers your blood sugar actually drops. So when I feel that coming on I usually go eat a candy bar or swig down a pepsi and I feel better almost immediately. Do yourself a favor and test your blood sugar after you've had a few and see where you're at. I drink alot of heavy stouts, high abv beers and I've found mine gets low, not high, but once you know how your body reacts you can plan accordingly! Cheers and stay healthy!
