FBW
American Barleywine • Extract • 5 gal
FBW stands for Freedom Barley Wine. This Barley style ale turned out great. Wonderful fruit aromas in the nose as well as the taste. The recipe may say that i used Secial B malt but I really used a Bries malt that's called Extra Special Malt. It gives a raisiny dried fruit taste. The alcohol really come through with the taste and really is a nice warmer (10%).I used a white Labs High gravity English Ale Yeast. Hops are present and really add a nice balance. I only did one fermentation, racked and let fall bright then racked agian to a corni and forced carbonate.
