Hi! Yesterday I brewed an American Barleywine and finally the OG was higher than I was looking: 1112.
I had decided to use two packets of S04, but I am not sure about the viability of the yeast when the alcohol increases. I had a starter of Wlp500 running as well, but the starter is going a bit lazy, and I am not sure at all with it.
Maybe, I am thinking in add the starter tomorrow to the fermenter and make a blend of S04( already in) and the Wlp500, because this has a high alcohol tolerance.
What do you think?
