Hello! I have enough ingredients to make a barlywine... I think! All I need is to figure out the yeast bit... I think! Could you offer some advice please?
Here is the recipe - basically all these items are in my larder and I have enough beer bottled now to be patient for the long fermentation & conditioning (!):
Batch: 5.50 gallon batch, 3 gallon boil
Ingredients
-----------
Canadian honey malt 0.25 lb, Grain, Steeped
Crystal 60L 1.00 lb, Grain, Steeped
Amber D.M.E. 3.00 lb, Extract
Golden D.M.E. 3.00 lb, Extract
Pilsen D.M.E. 3.00 lb, Extract
Light malt extract 3.30 lb, Extract
Cascade 1.00 oz, Pellet, 20 minutes
Cascade 1.00 oz, Pellet, 50 minutes
Centennial 0.50 oz, Pellet, 10 minutes
Centennial 1.00 oz, Pellet, 40 minutes
Northern Brewer 1.00 oz, Pellet, 60 minutes
Ferment primary 3 weeks, secondary couple of months - dry hop cascade 1 oz & centennial 0.5 oz
Characteristics
---------------
Recipe Gravity: 1.089 OG
Recipe Bitterness: 91 IBU
Recipe Color: 13 SRM
Estimated FG: 1.022

My questions:
1. yeast? I have safale us05, o4 (X2), and nottingham
2. if I dryhop do I put the hops in at the beginning fo the secondary fermentation - i.e 2-3 months? Or should I add the hops at the end of the secondary stage, say 2 weeks before bottling?
