So I've read some things on HBT that get me worried my next step might be a bad idea.
I brewed a 1.070 porter last weekend with 1056 and was planning to rack a 1.1+ barleywine onto the yeast cake in a couple of weeks. I still have much of the cold break and some hop bits from the hop pellets. I was considering just putting the BW onto the yeast cake, trub and all. But now i'm concerned that:
A. I should wash the yeast; and
2. I might be over pitching.
Should I change my plan, wash some yeast and pitch a sizable portion or RDWHAHB? ANy concerns with the additional trub or hop gunk if I just do it?
Help me HBT, you're my only hope!
