So my FIL brought me some of this limited release Class of 88 barleywine from North Coast Brewery.. The recipe is part of a joint effort from North Coast, Rogue, and Descutes, for several beers for their combined 25 year anniversary.
As far as barleywines go I have not had anything else quite like it, Light in color and malt flavors heavier on the citrus/piney hops. Comes through more like a light pale ale, but w/ a heavy %10 ABV, (Dangerously good). from the info off the bottle and off of deschutes website i have come up w/ this. I only have a couple of AG recipes under my Belt and haven't yet attempted this big of a beer any tips would be awesome.
From the Bottle:
OG - 1.093
BG - 1.022 (Bottling Gravity??)
IBU - 75
Color - 7.5 SRM
From the Website:
Rogue and North Coast Brewing Co. have joined forces with us to recreate a craft beer classic.
A hoppy citrus aroma radiates from this pale amber Barley Wine Ale. Its sturdy malt backbone is balanced with clean bitterness. Finishes pleasantly without overpowering.
Malt: Pale, Carahell, Maris Otter
Hops: Nugget, Millennium, Northern Brewer, Cascade, Mosaic
From Me screwing around on Beersmith:
5 Gallon Batch @ 75% Eff.
13.5# Pale 2 Row
2# MO
2# 10L Crystal
.75oz Nugget 31.9 IBU @ 60
.5oz Northern Brewer 10.7 IBU @ 30
1oz Millenium 23.2 IBU @15
1oz Simcoe 8.5 @ 5
1oz Cascade Dry Hop in secondary for 7 days
Mash @ 150-1* For 1hr Sparge w/ 168*
Est. OG 1.095,74.3 IBU,7.5 SRM
Not sure what yeast to use on this, any input would be awesome.
Thanks
