I plan on bottling a barleywine that I have bulk aged for the last 16 months. The OG was 1.080 and FG is 1.010.
I have a vial of White Labs 001 that I am thinking of adding either a day before bottling or day of when I add the priming sugar.

Cheers!

Well thanks to a little luck and a whole lot of knowledge gained from this forum it looks like my first attempt has been successful. I'm assuming everyone has been waiting for an date, I tasted my 1st brew after 3 weeks of bottle conditioning and I am very pleased with my first brew (AHS IPA...
I just racked this recipe (mini-mash) version to my secondary on top of two vanilla beans that I split and soaked in vodka. After three weeks in the primary my FG leveled out at 1.018. I'm planning on bottling in about a week. Hit the projected OG and had pretty consistent temps during my mash...
