I brewed JZ's American Barleywine 4 weeks ago and just racked it to secondary tonight. It is already very good even though it is young, but it just seems like something is missing so I was trying to decide among if I should just leave it or try to add something to it closer to bottling time. . .my options as I see them are to dryhop, oak or do both. . .any thoughts on those options or others I am not thinking of?? Below is the recipe.
