Single Infusion, Full Body, Batch Sparge Step Time Name Description Step Temp
45 min Mash In Add 21.00 qt of water at 160.6 F 151.0 F
Muscovado sugar not located. Used 15oz Brown Sugar and 1oz Blackstrap Molasses instead.
Too much wort. Ended up collecting around 8.5 gallons. Boiled down to target of 6.41 before starting my hour boil.
I ended up boiling this sucker for 4 hours to get it down to the desired level.
I wish I would've used a LOT more yeast for this guy or re-pitched. I didn't have enough yeast left alive to bottle condition so my bottles have very low carbonation right now (even after 6 months).
I also got really low efficiency but I'm still working the kinks out of my system.
I named this beer Grendel because it was intended to be entered at a homebrew contest at the Heorot bar in Muncie, IN but I didn't think it was competition worthy given the level of carbonation. I plan on brewing this again in the future and making some minor adjustments, like simplifying the grain bill a bit and using a giant starter.
I think even given the low carbonation this is still an excellent barleywine. I was going for something like a Hardy's and I think I hit it damn close on aroma and flavor. I have a case of these I'm going to let sit for a few years to see how they mature.
