I am planning my next batch- my first barleywine/
I am hoping to reuse the yeast from my porter (Currently in the primary)
which is an English Ale yeast. I've never done this before, so
I wanted to get some suggestions. My thoughts were the easiest thing to do would be to bottle the porter and brew the barley wine on the same night, and then I could just leave the sediment from the porter and reuse the primary for my barleywine. I believe I've read about this techinique before, but can't remember where. Is this technique advisable?
any other suggestions?
Thanks
