Bollocks English Barleywine recipe
I was looking through my brew log and Beersmith files today and figured it was about time I started adding some recipes to this site.
Batch size: 6 gallons
Efficiency: 70%
OG: 1.100
IBU: 65
SRM: 15.5
19.00 lb Marris Otter
8 oz Aromatic
4 oz Crystal 60L
4 oz Special B
2 oz Chocolate Malt
1.50 lb Corn sugar
2.50 oz Challenger (7.0%AA) - 60 min
1.50 oz EKG (5.0%AA) - 15 min
1.00 oz Willamette (4.3%AA) - 0 min
Wyeast 1098 British Ale yeast
Mash at 150F for 75 min
Ferment at 68F in primary for 4 weeks
Transfer to secondary and bulk age for 6 months
Dry hop with 1.50 oz EKG for last 10 days of secondary
Notes: I finally cracked one of these open for a sampling at a Christmas party after 3 months in the bottle. It was creamy, malty and had just enough bitterness to balance it. Very nice and I think it'll age nicely.
This beer took 1st place in the Strong Ale category of the 2010 Boston Homebrew Competition so its definitely worth giving a shot if you're looking for an English barleywine.
Some judging notes,
"Caramel, toffee aromas dominate with a low level of earthy hops...nice level of fruitiness with stone fruit qualities"
"Caramel and toffee flavors sit a top a toasty malt backbone"
Actually, I have been thinking of an English barley wine to fit my slower brewing schedule and looking for something that will stand up to some age in the bottle.
So I guess this is now my recipe. Thanks.
according to my calculations (i have been drinking tonight) would 12 pounds of pale extract and 3 pounds of MO just about do it for us partial mashers?
Just drinking up some junk a friend left over here. They thought that I would like it because it wasn't Budweiser. Not all "craft" beer is good beer...... probably should save some to throw in my smoker water next time I do a brisket, and move on to my good stuff. please disregard any following posts as I plan on having a good evening.

Thanks, when I brew it again I might try to replace some of the corn sugar with Marris Otter or maybe just increase some of the specialty grains. Its good as is but I'm looking to add a little "something" to the beer.
What was your FG?
