I did something similar recently (July) with the second runnings of a barley wine I made. I shot for a 1.090 OG on the BW, and then about 1.030 (ended up about 1.040 after some extra efficency) for...

Good luck!

I was afraid of the 120 imparting a darker caramel/dark fruit flavor and wasn't sure how it'd end up.
