I am brewing the above this weekend. It is a modification of Water into Barleywine with the alcohol of an Olde School and the hop profile of Bigfoot.

I will let you know how things turn out.

you gonna get 83% on a 1.12 beer? awesome if so how about a starter?

 

[baltjoe]

I actually changed up the yeast and decided to use the new San Diego Super Yeast as I heard it is a bit more alcohol tolerant. It is in a starter at 1.040 as we speak on the stir plate. Plan on pitching about a quart. 83 is probably shooting for the stars as my mash tun is more like 75%. I am mashing with a finer crush and plan two batch sparges. I didn't make all the changes in Beer Smith.

Attached is a link to a video of the fermentation after only 24 hours. The fermentation started within an hour of pitching and is super active.

Thanks

How did the San Diego super yeast attenuate here?

 

[baltjoe]

The measured OG was 1.090 and at transfer to secondary it was at 1.010 which is probably done. That is 67%. Active fermentation was done in 72 hours.

Got some tasting notes on this? I'm looking for a good base barleywine for my brandy barrel. This may fit the bill. Looking for ABV like Olde School and Bigfoot's hop profile would play nicely with brandy.
