I want to brew a nice bourbon oaked barleywine but am having some trouble coming up with a recipe. Is the basic equation a ton of base malt and small amounts of specialty malts?
I've been thinking of using marris otter, because i believe it to be slightly more flavorful than 2-row (without any justification may i add). And then i'd like some caramel notes, so i was thinking of going with some crystal/caramel 40L/60L. And some Biscuit malt and Aromatic malt for ****s n giggles.
No idea on the hop bill yet, and was thinking White labs WLP002.
Also not sure how to go about the oaking stage.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advanced.
