Just wondering BP what did your FG ended up being? After 4 days Im down to 1.022 and still chugging along. Also on the dry hop did you add it for the whole month or did you wait and add it two weeks before you transfered it. So far it looks like a great brew can't wait to try it.
This took first in the first round of the AHA nationals southwest regionals and was the #1 ranked barley wine going into the finals. It didn't do squat after that but it is a fine brew.

Just had my first one, OMG it was amazing, just the perfect balance, just a slight alcohol bite. Im thinking this one is gonna be sent to a few competitions. Would this be an American Barley wine or an English?
Cool. The alcohol will cool down and the whole thing will get rounder with time. I entered it in American Barley Wine. Glad to hear your batch turned out well!

I tried a sample of mine, but I must have a leaky keg because it was flat. I haven't had a cold, carbonated one yet.
Last night, I moved my kegs and my CO2 bottle to my 3-Seasons room because the temps dropped into the 50's. My beer will finally be cold enough to drink!!!
This looks very interesting. Might have to try it for my next, although a easier-drinking house ale is in the works, too.
A couple of questions for you:
1) When do you add the maple syrup?
2) Is it a 60 or a 90 min. wort boil? Both are listed in the original post.
Good questions.
I put the Maple in a flame out, and my boil in more along the lines of the 90 minute range, but it depends on your extraction rate, evaporation and those various factors.
