Ummmm, I sort of WAY overshot that. OG was 1.165, so I'm not sure just how much farther I have to go.

Dude...I'd say 70% attenuation on a monster mash like that is just fine.

1165....WTF?

Did you have to stomp on those grains to get them to fit in your tun?

I screwed up my water calculations and started with close to 9 gallons of wort. I then boiled for nearly 3 hours to get down to 5 gallons. Oops! it really was like syrup going into the fermenter.

tested my gravity today...1.022 after 9 days from my starting gravity of 1.100! Tasted great already, I can only imagine after aging, oaking, and dry hopping.

I expect we will initiate the exchanges in late March / early April.

I have not solicited your shipping info yet, but will in the next few weeks. (Please don't PM me with that info until I ask for it).

In the meantime:

• Get those BW’s on oak if you plan to oak them.
• Get a taste test and see if some late dry hopping will help them.
• Get those bottles cleaned up.
• Make sure your CO2 is adequate to charge that barleywine.
• Start accumulating newspapers, bubble wrap or whatever other packing material you prefer.

Here are the swap parameters:

• You will send to three random individuals.
• You will receive from three random individuals.
• You will send a minimum of 44 ounces. (Generally the minimum is either 4-12 ounce bottles, or 2-22 ounce bombers.)
• No matter how much you send, two bottles in the package must be Barleywine.
• You may (and are encouraged to) send additional HB for immediate enjoyment.

A typical package example would be five or six 12-ounce bottles, two of which are Barleywine.
As long as your recipient receives a minimum of 44 ounces of homebrew, including two bottles of BW, you have met the minimum.

So when it is said and done, we should each be in possession of 6 bottles of barleywine and hopefully a weekends worth assortment of other homebrew.

Here are a couple of handy links related to:
Packing and Shipping Tutorial.
Link for free boxes.

I use the 12x12x8 size and yes, you can use them at UPS or Fed Ex.

Good luck and let’s get ready to rumble….

Is anyone dry hopping? If so are you using Centennial or Cascade or a mix of the two??

I'm going to taste test first and then decide.

Might go with some amarillo.
