So I'm planning to do a barleywine next weekend, making only a 3 gal. batch so it will fit in my system. I'll be putting in the primary on top of the yeast left from my 5 gal. of pale ale currently bubbling. I'm not trying to clone Bigfoot, but using it as a guideline. I have the clone recipe from Beer Captured and modifying it with information from the Sierra Nevada site. SN lists as follows:
9.6% ABV, OG 23 plato, 90 IBU, Bittering - Chinnok, Finishing - Cascade & Centennial, Dry - Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Malts - Two-row Pale, English Caramel, Dextrin
My recipe for 3 gallons:
11 lb. Pale 2-row
1 lb. Crystal 60
Hops: All Pellet
1 oz. Chinook 12% 60
0.5 oz. Cascade 6% 15
0.25 oz. Centennial 10.5% 15
0.5 oz. Cascade 6% 5
0.25 oz. Centennial 10.5% 5
0.25 oz. Chinook Dry
0.25 oz. Cascade Dry
0.25 oz. Centennial Dry
OG: 1.107
IBU: 92
Does the hop schedule look right? Should I use a darker crystal (90) to get the color closer? This will be my first barleywine so feel free to suggest any modifications. I plan on letting it sit in the secondary for maybe 6 weeks. Longer? Should it dry hop that long or rack to tertiary after dry hopping 2 weeks? I've got all week to tweak the recipe.
