I am brewing a Barley wine tomorrow. I wanted to use Safale us-05 yeast but my LHBS is out of it! they have Nottingham dry yeast and Windsor dry yeast. Will those work instead?
Also, I picked up some yeast nutrient because this is such a huge beer. Should I use it? I'm only asking because I did a search for it on this forum and somebody said that yeast nutrient causes off flavors. I don't want that!!
Here is my recipe (Done in Beer Calculus):
OG 1.110
FG 1.027
23* SRM
78 IBUs
11.1% ABV
-------------------------------------------
9 lbs. Light DME
1 lbs. 2-row malt
8 oz. Ganbrinus Honey malt 20L
8 oz. Red Wheat
8 oz. Crystal 40L
8 oz. Crystal 80L
8 oz. Crystal 120L
8 oz. Biscuit Malt
4 oz. Special B
4 oz. Victory
1 lbs. Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (Add in fermenter after a couple of days)
2.00 oz. Centennial @ 90 minutes (FIRST WORT HOP)
1.00 oz. Summit @ 90 minutes
1.50 oz. Nugget @ 90 minutes
0.50 oz. Willamette @ 30 minutes
1.00 oz. Cascade @ 20 minutes
0.50 oz. Cascade @ 5 minutes
0.50 oz. Cascade @ Flameout
2 pkgs. Safale us-05 yeast
