This is just a 2.5 gallon batch to prepare a big yeast cake of wlp 099 for an american barleywine. Should be an easy drinking pale ale like brew. I have not made an extract brew since my first brew. Should be interesting..
Strangely this beer finished at SG 1.022 !
Perhaps the DME used was not good and fully fermentable. Bottled on 10/24 with 1.7 oz of cane sugar
%ABV 3.6%
note that barley wine used with this yeast cake is actively fermenting so nothing happened to the yeast. this should have dried out!
