A bourbon barrel-aged RIS. Very smooth for being so young. It is only about 2 months old. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1391347574.838007.jpg

Here is a wheat wine I brewed for a competition and sampled Tuesday night. It was a little boozy, but not hot, and it's still relatively young (I brewed it the first chance I had after hearing about the competition).

Ingredients: 60% American Wheat & 40% 2-row, mashed at 152; hopbursted with equal amounts of Centennial & Amarillo at 20 minutes and 7 minutes; fermented with Wyeast 2565 (Kolsch).

Pitched and started fermentation at 60, then ramped up 2 degrees every other day to get to 70. Let it sit at 70 for 2 days, then slowly lowered the temp down to 36 over the course of 4 days. Cold-conditioned at 36 for 36 days, then bottle conditioned for 3 weeks.

Estimated 9.75% ABV and 50 IBU.

Yum! I did an all Mosaic IPA fermented 100% with Brett Brux Trois this summer, and it was fantastic. Fruity (in a good way) and complex with a nice dry finish. I plan to make that again this year.

Thats awesome...How long did you let it go for?
 
A sample of my BDSA - three months on figs, just added some oak & white ash honeycomb for six weeks. Then il pitch some more yeast and bottle condition for nine months. This should be a gem a year from now.

Here is my American Barleywine. Brewed about 9 months ago, and bottled in October. I tried one after 6 weeks of bottle conditioning and it was carbed but still pretty harsh. 2.5 months later and it's mellowed considerably, but needs some time to age still.

If I remember correctly, the grain bill was 70% pils and 30% munich (I did a parti-gyle with 1/3 this and 2/3 German dampfbier) and the hops were loosely based on Troegs' Nugget Nectar. Fermented with US-05, this is around 12% ABV and 100+ (theoretical) IBU.

I only got 12 bottles total so I don't plan to try it again until maybe next fall, and will have 2 bottles a year for the next 5 years.
