Brewing now Couevas?
IT TOOK IT ALL----started to boil down a little over 12 gallons of wort
Uh. Is that a 5g or a 10g batch?
Good work dude! Epic is right! How was work?
I am still at work. I don't know what I am running on now or how I am still alive. But I am here!:rockin:How was work?
It is a 5.5 gallon batch. 12 gallons of runoff to boil down to the correct gravity.
I am curious as to how successful people will be with partigyleing this. Unless they are supplementing with quite a bit of extract, the grains don't have much left to give up after sparging.
My final runnings were a bit light.
I was going to use 3 packs of US-05 instead of the 1056. that sound right?
Will the 05 hold up to the ABV of this? I'm thinking good old Notty.
2 packs of US-05 should be just slightly less than optimal pitching. I'm going with 2 packs and wyeast yeast nutrient tomorrow.
I could see the BW just sitting around the house, being used for gifts to anyone who'll drink one.
Whew! Way to crank out the "grunt work" there BM! +1 to ya!
I can't decide whether I should brew 2.5 gal or 5 gal for this swap. I'm really not nearly as much of a Barleywine fan as I am an Imperial Stout fan. I could see the BW just sitting around the house, being used for gifts to anyone who'll drink one.
...Unless 2.5gal is going to be much less effort to make I think I would have to make the 5gal batch.

...Then half of each batch will be oaked. So each person I trade with will get 1 12oz bottle of each!
Don't know if it has been posted before in this thread, but if you are in the Atlanta area, a bunch of us are getting together to brew this on 9/6.
