Barley Wine

Barley Wine

American Barleywine • All Grain • 10 gal

Kenneth Reister

I included the dark crystal malt in this recipe to appease the calculator's want for color. However the long boil should provided the darkening for style. Brew a batch of English mild a week before you brew the Barley Wine. Use the resulting yeast for a big pitch into the Barley Wine. Oxygenate well!

    A hybrid of ale and lager characteristics. This strain develops excellent maltiness with subdued fruitiness, and a crisp finish. Ferments well at moderate temperatures.

Notes

The Calculator indicated that this recipe was not dark enough fo the style. The darkness is intended to come from a long boil. Dark malts are not needed nor are Crystal malts since high gravity beers are inherintly full bodied and do not require additional body afforded by Crystal malts. Ferment with London Ale yeast from a previous batch of English mild. Barly Wine needs a big pitch of healthy yeas to ferment well.
