So I'm hoping to get some feedback for this first draft of a Barleywine recipe I'm working on. It'd be a partial mash, 5 gallon batch.
Second draft is a few posts down
Mashed:
4lb Maris Otter
2lb Honey Malt
150*, 7 qts (~1.2qts/lb), 1 hour
Sparge with 3 qts
**Not set up for a full 5 gallon boil at the moment, so I'm planning the recipe now as if I'll be topping off before going into the fermenter**
For 60' Boil:
6lb LME
3lb Light Brown Sugar
Hops:
4oz Kent Golding 60 min
2oz Kent Golding 5 min
1oz Herald Dry Hop **about 2 weeks before bottling**
Yeast:
thinking of wyeast 1028 London Ale
(Either using the cake left from a batch brewed right before this or making a 2L starter, suggestions?)
Let it sit in primary 6-8 weeks, secondary 4~6 months (adding oak cubes with 1 month left)
My software (Brewtarget) puts this in the middle of the style range but I wanted to see what sage advice I could draw from the HBT community. Thanks in advance
