So I had a little bit of left over grain and DME and decided to just mess around and brew up a 0.75 gallon test batch of Barley Wine.
It ended up being pretty damn good. Now if I were to do this for real, I'd probably ad some more hops and get the IBUs up more to 40.. Its pretty malty, but I like that and Im not a huge fan of hops.
But overall pretty good beer. Pretty strong.
Heres what I used converted to 5 gallons:
5.00 lb Wheat Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 38.86 %
3.33 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 25.91 %
1.07 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 8.29 %
0.80 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 6.22 %
2.80 oz Hallertauer [4.80 %] (60 min) Hops 36.0 IBU
2.67 lb Candi Sugar, Dark (275.0 SRM) Sugar 20.73 %
1 Pkgs Nottingham Yeast (Lallemand #-) Yeast-Ale
Est Original Gravity: 1.089 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.021 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 8.98 %
Bitterness: 36.0 IBU
Est Color: 65.8 SRM
