I mashed
11.5 lbs. pale ale malt
.8 lbs C-20
.4 lbs C-40
.25 ;bs. Caravienna
85 IBUs worth of hops
2 hours at 149*.
I boiled 6.5 gallons down to 4 (purposely)
1 packet of re-hydrated Notty with a couple of scoops of "conditioned" Notty thrown in for good measure.
After one week, presuming my hydrometer is correct, it went from 1.107 to 1.004. I was hoping for 1.014. I'm hoping this will age out quite nicely. Thoughts?? After aging, I plan to oak for a bit.
I'd rather have a dry barleywine then underattenuated syrup.
****EDIT*** My hydro is off, I'm glad since I didn't want that dry of a BW!!
