Beer Style: American Barleywine (19C)
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 US gallons
Description:
I had the oppurtunity to finaly tap into my 94 holiday beer. This home brew was so incredible that I thought that I should share the recipe. 5 gallons of this went to the SAAZ homebrew club X-mas party and was consumed rapidly. Also it is a exercise in high gravity / first runnings brewing. BTW the beer is a vanilla barleywine.
Ingredients:
- 50# pale malt
- 25# wheat malt
- 5# carastan
- 2# light brown sugar ( last 15 min. of boil )
- centennial hops 8.0 oz @ 8.1% alpha - 75 min
- centennial hops 1.0 oz, dry in primary after 3 days
- yeast from previous pale ale batch
- 1 pint vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp ginger
