So I live near Avery brewery and they took their Belgian golden strong ale and aged it in Ferrari Carano chardonnay barrels...probably one of the most fantastic beers I have ever had, mellowed the normal sweetness of Salvation and gave it an oaky, tannin, bitter quality that I associate with white wine....I loved it and want to make something like it.
So they list the ingredients as 2-row, cara 8 (CaraVienne), and cara 20 (CaraMunich).
Description: The success of HOG HEAVEN and THE REVEREND clearly demonstrates that beer drinkers are willing to embrace "BIGGER" beers. In the fall of 2001, we decided that a lighter BIG BEER would complement its darker colored predecessors. Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixer is cellarable for 3 years.
Hops: Styrian Goldings
OG. 1.080 9% ABV (So about 1.013 FG), 25 IBUs
I was thinking about soaking some oak chips in white wine and adding them to the secondary, then blending in a little white wine before kegging/bottling to taste...but I need a base recipe and I have no idea...any help is much appreciated.
