Frankenstein's Barleywine 2014
American Barleywine • Partial Mash • 5.5 gal
It got its name from me picking leftover malts and putting them together. I used 9 lbs of something light but not sure what and the black malt was also unknown. Mahed at 153 for 80 min and sparged at 170. Made a 2L double yeast stater. Just brewed it Dec 14th 2014 at 10:25 pm central time. Will let you know the fg and how it tastes in a 6 weeks. See Notes

- 1.5 tsp
Irish Moss - 15 min (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Notes
UPDATE when I checked it in Feb of 2015 it was like you put wisky in beer nasty strong so I let it bulk age until next year. UPDATE AGAIN 3/7/2016 Keged it a week ago and man is it good. Not much on the hops but nice and malty. Oh and F.G is 1.009 which puts it at 12% ABV
