So I will be attempting my first barley wine in the next couple of weeks. I am shooting for an english variety and need help determining if my hops schedule is balanced for an english barley wine. I based my recipe off of another I found online and just tweeked in a bit.
19# English Two row
1# crystal 40
1# crystal 80
1# munich malt
.25# roasted barley
1 oz Magnum 13-15% for 90 minutes
1 oz Kent Golding for 15 minutes
1 oz Kent Golding for 5 minutes
1 oz Target at flameoff
2 packets of S-04 in a starter with yeast nutrient, adding champagne yeast if the batches becomes stuck before it reaches the secondary.
How does this look...since im only using 4 ozs total for an OG around 1.1 should I go with pellets to increase the hoppiness? Should I increase the hops? I also plan on aging this in the secondary for three months with oak chips and bottling conditioning for about a year, any help here would be appreciated.
