Notes

Beer designed around the idea of only drinking it once it has aged a year at least.

Hops... Teamaker hops have low alpha acid and high beta acids. So the BU/GU numbers look really out of whack. Alpha acids become less bitter as they oxidize, and beta acids get more bitter as they oxidize. I'm having trouble finding information on this, but I'm assuming that oxidized beta acid bitterness is less signficant than the initial AA bitterness since aged beers end up less bitter typically. Say BA bitterness is half of AA bitterness after some aging... So aim for BA points twice the typical AAU for a given malt balance? Remember to write down your AA and BA units for the hops you used.

Water... In order to get a reasonable mash at all, we need a lot of water. There will be a very long boil to get down to reasonable fermenter volume.

Honey additions... For this yeast, staggered additions of sugar are recommended in order to get it up to the high EtOH target. You're also supposed to give more 02 at this point... Pasteurize in a jar at 140 for 30 min before cooling and adding?
