Beer Style: American Barleywine  (19C)
Recipe Type: partial mash
Yield: 5 US gallons

American Barleywine

Description:

This was not an easy batch. The yeast took off immediately and blew out 1-1/2 gallons through the blow tube. Once the yeast subsided, I let it sit for a week and then bottled. I should have taken a sample and pitched some Red Star Pasteur champagne yeast because it turns out the gravity was still 1.091! The flavor is impossibly syrupy, but I'll put in the cellar and forget about it for a few months. This could be my most expensive failure yet, then again, maybe not. Maybe I can pour it over ice cream...

Ingredients:

  • 12 pounds 2-row pale malt
  • 2 pounds Munich malt
  • 2 pounds crystal malt
  • 4 pounds Edme light extract
  • 4 pounds Alexander's light extract
  • 4 ounces dark molasses
  • 1/4 cup priming sugar
  • 2-1/2 ounce Northern Brewer @8%
  • 1-1/2 ounces Kent Goldings @5.2%
  • 1/2 ounce Hallertauer @2.8%
  • 1/2 ounce Cascade @5.2%
  • Wyeast Vintner's Choice
  • champagne yeast
