I looking to design my own brew for me and SWMBO to have as an anniversary celebration beer. Its got to be big and since d-day is 18/12/10 it will be 18/12/11 when we first crack one open. Im thinking of doing either a Barleywine or a RIS, each of which will be my first and whichever I chose I will boil down the first runnings to make a thick syrup to add some unfermentables and complexity to the beer. I will adjust my water to better suit the beer I decide to brew. Heres the two recipes Im considering so far:
