One of my good friends that is in town wants to learn more about home brewing so we'll be brewing a Barleywine on Wednesday. I will be picking up the ingredients later today and wanted to see if anyone has suggestions for my 1g recipe. The next time he's in town won't be till Christmas so I plan on aging it at least 6-7 months before opening even one bottle. I don't have my BrewTarget recipe in front of me but this is the malt and hop bill. I think it comes out to almost 10-11% abv and around 160 IBU's. This recipe is loosely based on a Bigfoot clone that I found. Any suggestions/thoughts?


Grains:
---------------------------------------
3.45 lbs Two Row
.4 lbs Crystal 60L

Hops:
---------------------------------------
.5 oz Chinook 90m
.4 oz Chinook 60m
.4 oz Cascade 1m
.2 oz Cascade 45m After Boil
.2 oz Centennial After Boil

Yeast:
---------------------------------------
Safale US-05 1/2 packet
 
I went ahead and ordered the ingredients so the LHBS has them ready when I go to pick up. Hopefully the recipe is decent. I think i'll split the batch when bottling and try priming with Maple Syrup and Molasses or Honey.
