I am commenting on my own brew, an after-report so to speak.

Initially pitched with brown ale yeast (Cooper's I think) the high gravity stalled this one for a while. I was forced to add yeast nutrients and then finally resorted to champagne yeast to get it to finish. Even then it was sweet when bottled and ended up continuing to carbonate in the growlers, but not by much.
I tried to let it age, held off a good four months to drink the first growler, and forced myself to save the last growler until it was a year old, but it was just too good! Spendy to make but worth trying again, maybe this time with oats instead of wheat malt. I might even try to go hop-less.

I'm so sorry for being so late to update, I moved immediately after bottling this brew. Fermentation stalled about halfway through, it was very high gravity so I should have expected that. I added nutrients and re-pitched with champagne yeast, and that put things back on track. It was too good to set on for long though. Opened the first growler at four months and finished the last one at just over a year. Expensive but worth it.
