We're going to try a batch of barley wine. I'm still working on the recipe, though the advice I've gotten so far sounds like:

  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) of extra light malt extract
  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) of light malt extract
  • 1 can (3.3 lbs) of amber malt extract
  • 1 lbs crystal 40 malt
  • 1/2 lbs Munich I malt
  • 1 oz Roasted Barley malt
  • 2 oz Black Patent malt
  • 2 oz Cherry Smoked malt
  • 1/2 lbs maltodextrin
  • 1 lbs molasses
  • 2.5 oz Kent Golding hops pellets
  • 2.5 oz Willamette hops pellets
  • 3 oz Spalt hops pellets
  • 2 packets of ale yeast
  • 1 packet of champagne yeast
