If ya want to increase the alc of the brew you have just done then semi freeze it just before you keg/bottle it.That will do 4 things ,clear up the brew,increase the colour,increase flavour and increase the alcohol content.
Lots of info on yeast and yeast starters on this site

Interesting to see DMs starting it over east.<br />I believe Alcohol excise is different on cartons (more expensive)as it is for kegs (cheaper).So would it be that DMs makes more money selling craft beer out of kegs instead of packaged beer. Craft Beer or Cash Beer??<br />I would rather just...
Oldest beer I have drunk is about 11 years old,a Coopers Millennium ale 1999 and that was damn fine.
Not sure how long these darker more complex brews age for?
10 months in the bottles so far and have 1 keg of it sitting around.Nice now that its getting cold to just have a small glass of it.I reckon if you like Belgians you will like what you decide to clone/brew cause they are big drinks with big flavours that make you think while you drink them.
Brewed a BSDA based on the one in Jamil Z and John P book,I inverted the dark sugar.Definitely not a session beer,very strong and very sweet.Will see how it ages over the next few years.
