For high gravity beers like Imperial Red Ales, high pitch rates, oxygenation and yeast nutrient become much more necessary in
order to keep yeast happy and healthy throughout fermentation.

Notes

An intensely hoppy, fairly strong ale without the big, rich, complex maltiness and residual sweetness and body of an American barleywine. Strongly hopped, but clean, dry, and lacking harshness.
