The Billy Barew

Extra Special/Strong Bitter (English Pale Ale) • All Grain • 13 gal

This bad boy is a malt symphony! Oh it tasted GREAT!!! Try it for yourself, you'll be pleased I'm sure. Note the addition of flaked barley (probably heresy in a pale ale, but who cares?) It added a creamy texture. Try it, you'll like it!

I put this one together on Sat. My OG was 44 so I didn't get a great convertion. I will add more after I have tasted the final product.

My FG was 12 and the stuff tasted great. I can hardly wait till it conditions. I have a feeling that this one will go on the make again list.
