For the water pros out there I have a question. What would my best option be for a perfectly balanced English Barleywine water be? Some say use the Burton profile but I truly shy away from that high of a sulfate. This is going to be a 15% beer and I am looking at aging this for a very long time. Say about 20 years. I will have a tester every year so in case I vapor lock before it is done I will have at least tried it.
Another thing this is going in to a bourbon barrel for about 4 months before I bottle so that will alter the flavor profile a bit. I want all of this to match with the water to get the best beer possible. I am starting with RO water and building up from there.
