FBW

American Barleywine • Extract • 5 gal

Shawn Kelso

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.
