My first barley wine. Brewed last night and used safale 04 for the fist time.
Took off like a rocket. o.g. 1.101

What would you recommend ?That is going to finish quite sweet with one packet of S-04.
Mr Malty Pitching Rate Calculator
You'll be fine, I think. Might not attenuate as much as you would like.

Thanks for the tip. I'll pick up another pack of yeast this weekend just in case.That yeast tends to leave some sugars, so if I were using it on a barleywine I'd pitch more than the pitching rate calculator says. But really, I would have used S-05 or nottingham for their attenuative properties. Then again, I dislike sweet beer more than the next guy, so if you're not opposed to a bit of extra sweetness your beer should be great.
