Here's my attempt at cloning what I think is one of the best, most balanced, and complex beer in the world today. Here's my philosophy on this one...
Burton Baton is a 10% beer with 70 IBUs. Additionally, according to Dogfish Head, Burton Baton is a blended brew consisting of a 50/50 blend of their 90 Minute IPA and an English Barley Wine.
DFH 90 Minute IPA is a 9% beer with 90 IBUs, so to achieve the profile necessary, the English Barley Wine needs to hit 12% with 50 IBUs.
So here's the recipe I've come up with for a 10 gallon batch.
90 Minute IPA
16# Pilsner Malt
1.5# Amber Malt
Mash at 150 for 60 minutes
90 Minute Boil
2 oz Amarillo (90)
1/2 oz Simcoe (30)
1/2 oz Warrior (30)
1 oz Amarillo (dry for 7 days)
1/2 oz Simcoe (dry for 7 days)
1/2 oz Warrior (dry for 7 days)
Wyeast 1099
2 weeks Primary
2 weeks Secondary
English Barley Wine
22# Pale Malt UK
1# Cara Pils Dext
3/4# Cara 60L
1/2# 80L
1/2# Special B
150 Mash for 60 Minutes
Boil - 90 Minutes
2 oz Norther Brewer (60)
1 oz Fuggles (30)
1 oz Challenger (30)
Wyeast 1099 or Wyeast 1056
Primary 2 Weeks
Secondary 2 Weeks
At 4 weeks these beers are then blended and aged on oak for 7 days.
What are your thoughts??
