wheat wine revisited(small batch)

wheat wine revisited(small batch)

American Barleywine • All Grain • 2.5 gal

I wanted to redo this recipe so that Icould make it with some things that I have on hand, and had to make it a smaller batch so that I could handle it in my sparge/lauter tun. I added more specialty grains to it this time so that it will have a nice bady to it and not just a TON of alcohol. It should weigh in at 14.5%

Ingredients (All Grain2.5 gal)

    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

Racked to secondary

2002-03-31 5:02am

After a week, I racked to the secondary and checked the SG, it was down to about 1.034. My OG was only about 1.110, but that is a guess since my hydrometer only goes up to 1.080. I made another starter and poured some of the trub into it to revitalize the yeast so I can pour it back in and get a second fermentation. Will keep you all updated on the progress.

In the Bottle

2002-08-13 7:33am

Its just sitting in the bottle, and I am waiting for it to be finished. I figure I will be able to hold out for about 9 months before I have to try it. I dont want to try it too soon because I only got 19 bottles from the batch and I gave 2 away. I think it finished about 11.5% ABV. Will let you all know how it is when I taste it.
