Hey folks. I have an American Ale 1056 Yeast Cake that I'm racking a Mosaic/MO SMaSH off of (6.3% ABV) off of on Sunday. I'd like to use it for another brew but I'm not sure what to make!
After doing some reading, I'd like to go for something big. Like... 10% big. However, my options seem limited. I'm looking at either a barleywine or an Imperial IPA. I was planning on going the Imperial IPA route until I realized how much the hops were going to cost. So instead, I thought maybe a Barleywine, however, there seems to be a lot involved in brewing one (the whole brewing twice thing to use just the first runnings thing).
Any thoughts on what I should brew? I'm not a big fan of roasty or sour beers, but pretty much anything else I'm down with.
