Spring Break Brewing Marathon: Sunday American Barleywine!

[eschatz]

Ok, after two days of preparation I'm brewing BrewPastor's Water Into Barleywine today.

I'm doing this as an all grain beer in a one bedroom apartment. Should be interesting..........

I'll keep posting updates here.

Wow, AG barleywine in an apartment... looking forward to hearing how this turns out, as I' stuck in an apartment too.

Yeah, I'm heating my hot water on the stove right now. I'm doing it in two pots because I need 6.5 gal for the dough in. This is the biggest beer that I've ever done all grain.

Good Luck.

Sounds like a noble quest.

I mashed in and overshot my temp. I'm at 150 instead of 148. It's a 90 minute mash so I think it'll come down a bit. I've only got about 2 1/2 inches left in the top of my 10 gal cooler so I cant really add any cold water.

Coolie (my mash tun) has never has so much wort in him!

Ok, I just remembered that I had forgotten to get some Northern Brewer hops from the LHBS. So.......... I've got some 2 oz Amarillo, 8 oz centennial, 2 oz of liberty, 1 of williamette, and 1 of EKG. Any suggestions?
