I was just listening to the new beersmith podcast about high gravity beer, and they were talking about beer such as old ale, barley wine, and double ipas being done in 2 weeks with the right pitching rate of yeast. They were saying around a gallon starter will have a must age beer done in normal...

The MO is from Warminster 4.5° L. I am thinking it's going to be on the darker side. Do you happen to know of anything that will give that old leather and old book taste. I know its kind of a vanilla flavor, which should come from the oak, but not sure if i should use anything else to get it.

Thanks guys. Rather than just go over the changes, I think I'll just repost my new recipe. 13 lb Floor Malted Maris Otter 1 lb 60l Crystal (may cut a little more now that I read your post) 8 oz brown 1 lb Organic Honey (not malt) I was thinking of mashing somewhere around 153 to 155...

Thanks man. I've made an esb similar to this a year or so ago, and it turned out great. We didn't use brown or amber, so I'm not too familiar with them. I may end up using Victory since I am used to using it. I was planning on letting this age for about 2 months altogether. I appreciate the...

Hello. I'm new to this forum, but it seems like a good place to start for advice. My friends and I are holding a little brew competition and I was just looking to make the best ale possible. I've got quite a few all grain brews under my belt, but not in this style. Any advice is welcome and...

Anyone? Any input is welcome. I'm probably going to start tomorrow, so I need any help possible. Thanks
