Some friends and I are going to make an English Barleywine later on in November, but before I spend the money on all these ingredients I wanted to get some feedback since I've never made one and haven't tried very many. I'm using some Marris Otter extract to make things simpler. I'm confident the WLP002 will do fine from experience with other higher gravity beers I've brewed - I'll be pitching harvested/washed slurry and injecting O2.
I want this to be pretty true to style. I like the complexity that the extra dark crystal brings, but still want some clear caramel flavor, thus the equal amounts of both crystal malts.
