I'm planning a barleywine with an anticipated OG of 1.120.

My hop schedule is:

2 oz. Simcoe @60 min
2.5 Centennial @30 min
2 Amarillo @10 min
0.5 Centennial @5 min
1 Simcoe @5 min

Total IBUs - 119. I do want this hoppy!

What could I do as far as FWH? I'm just curious to try it.


My IBUs may be off as the Simcoe hops are from a hbs that had them (2006-still sealed/vac packed) for $10/8oz.
 
General recommendations for FWH are to use low alpha finishing hops (FWH takes the place of some or all of your late additions) and it should comprise at least 30% of your total schedule. Adjusting your proposal:
2 oz. Amarillo @FWH
0.5 oz. Centennial @FWH
2 oz. Simcoe @60 min
2.5 oz. Centennial @30 min
1 oz. Simcoe @5 min
would seem to fit.
