Question
What ABV is this yeast recommended? What is the high end that this yeast is still able to survive?

Response From Homebrew Heaven
The manufacturer claims 12% ABV, but I'd have to say that is likely under ideal conditions, and lots of time.

Realistically, you should be able to get 9-10% ABV.
