I'm trying to brew up an ag barley wine tomorrow night (Friday) since my weekend is pretty packed and I want to get a brew in. I don't have any yeast right now and I'm not sure if I'll have time before tomorrow to grab some. I'm planning a 2.5 gallon batch and I was wondering if dry yeast would be ok to use on a big beer or if I should just make the wort and make the starter and pitch it on Sunday night? Or, can I make the starter before I start to brew and pitch it when I normally would at the end of the brew day? (planning on using WLP001)
I am going to bottle an oatmeal chocolate stout tomorrow also that I used safale 04 (I think) with. Not sure if pitching a barley wine would be good on top of an oatmeal chocolate stout slurry or not... I'm thinking not because of the chocolate but figured I'd toss the idea out there anyway.
