This is a Super High Gravity Ale Yeast. Forget the original question. What I want to know now is....
After considering the issue, I think I will split the vial of yeast in two. They will be added to starters. The first starter will be used to brew the barleywine. The second will be used to brew two batches of something else. Upon completing the second batch, there should be a ton of yeast and I will rack the original barleywine over this yeast cake along with additional fermentables. Hopefully the triple shot of yeast along with a stepped fermentation will allow me to push the ABV up over 17%. What do you guys think?
Autolysis is only a problem if the yeast doesn't have fermentables, correct?
The original post is as follows, the new question begins on page two...
That was the original question.... just fishing for ideas...
