Hello fellow brewers,
I am brewing a barley wine this week and have been looking at a bunch of recipes, while sort of formulating my own from what I have seen. The problem is, I have never brewed a BW and have not used many of the ingredients I am planning to buy, so I'm not sure if the combination of ingredients will work out as I intend. I am buying the grains tomorrow, so please give me feedback! Thanks!
3 GALLONS- 70% efficiency
7 lbs pale 2 row american
2 lbs Munich
1 lb flaked rye
6 oz Special B
6 oz C80
1 lb cane or brown sugar
1 oz centennial 10% 60 min
0.5 oz centennial 20 min
0.5 oz cascade 7% 15 min
0.5 oz cascade 5 min
0.5 oz cascade 0 min
Specifically I'm wondering if the C80 is needed. I want to keep the special B but Im not sure of the amount and whether to also include the C80.
