Hi all,
Brewed an 1.110 barleywine Sunday evening. First time with an oxygen system, first time with the yeast. Pitched three packs of notty @ around 60*F after 60 sec of oxygen, second shot of oxygen after around 10 hrs.
36 hrs @ 57 in basement didn't yield high krausen (but beyond yeast rafts), so I moved it upstairs @ 65 ambient this morning, now going well. I figure with the gravity of the brew, I'm probably near 70*F.
With the higher ferm temp and high gravity, am I at risk of fusels, despite the high pitch rate and plenty of oxygen? I'm fine with it getting nice and fruity.
Thanks, Adam
