I'm interested in brewing a "Boobs Barley wine" by Chuck Boyce (from the book Homebrewing for dummies). He won 2nd AHA nationals contest, so that's why I want to try this recipe. Comments are welcome and my questions are below.

  • Malt extract: 12 pounds light malt extract
  • Specialty grain: 3 pounds Klages malt
  • 0.5 pound dextrin malt
  • 0.5 pound crystal malt
  • Bittering hops: 9 ounces Bullion (90 mins.)
  • Flavoring hops: 1.5 ounces Fuggles (15 mins.)
  • Finishing hops: 1.5 ounces Cascade (2 mins.)
  • Yeast: Wyeast #1056
  • Primary: 4 weeks at 75 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Secondary: 2 weeks at 65 degrees Fahrenheit
  1. What is Klages malt? any replacement?
  2. Crystal malt... Which from 10L to 120L?
  3. For dextrin malt, I heard american carapils is the same and you need a mash tun. Is this correct? Any other way around if I don't have a mash tun?
  4. I entered this recipe within beertools and it gives a IBU of 300! 9 ounces for 90 minutes is a lot isn't it? I believe the recipe is for a 5 gallon boil. And I can't find bullion hops, any replacement?
 
I guess it really is 9 ounces... found the recipe in another place: here

Just use whatever American 2-Row you can get for Klages.

Weird that they don't list which crystal malt... I'd probably use crystal 40.

You could use Columbus or Northern Brewer if you can't find Bullion.
