Hi,
I've brewed a fair amount of extract sled but am thinking of trying my first barley whine. I was thinking about the recipe in Palmers book. For yeast, it recommends using the dregs from a previous batch, preferably from a secondary. I actually have batches now in primary and secondary. The secondary layer usually isn't that substantial compared to the primary, is that enough yeast to make it 'go'? That secondary batch is actually a Hobgoblin clone so it would match well with Barleywhine I think , but will that small amount be enough ? Any advice is appreciated !
