Any time I'm trying to push the alcohol level, I usually start around 1.120 or so (my usual maximum starting gravity is JAO-strenght, approximately 1.125), and do my typical lazy-arse staggered nutrients*, then when it gets below 1.010, I boost it back up to as sweet as I'd want it (1.020) as many times as it takes for the SG to stop changing.
*-Chevette Girl's lazy SNA: at pitch, add half of the total amount of energizer you plan to use, after lag add half the DAP, mix the remaining nutrients and energizer together into an empty energizer container and then add a shake after each aeration & SG check, trying to time the last addition at around the 1/3 sugar break, which I calculate from the amount I start with (because I start fairly high), getting a good start like seems to be about all it needs.
