Anyone ever tried WLP029 for a barleywine?

[Shawn Hargreaves]

I'm planning a big barleywine brew, and currently have a Kolsch on the go using WLP029. I know this isn't a typical high gravity yeast, but have used it for a range of low to medium gravity styles recently with great results, so I'm curious how high it can go? (plus seems a shame to waste the cake I have right now...)

Anyone ever tried this yeast in a barleywine or similar? If so, how'd it turn out?

I know this is was a lonnnnng time ago, but do you remember if it worked? I am using 029 in a pumpkin in a few days and the OG is going to be around 1.07 and was wondering the same thing...

I bought 029 because i am a cheapskate and am also making an oktoberfest the same day, so i bought one tube and made a huge starter to split between the batches
