We're going to try a batch of barley wine. We got some advice at the brewing store and picked up the following ingredients:
- 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
- 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
Still need to get:
- Molasses
- Spices
Fermentation will also take a while, probably more than a week in primary, and 3 in secondary. Double pitch the yeast for primary, and then pitch the champagne yeast late in secondary a couple of days before bottling. It'll also want to condition in the bottle for longer than my previous batches, at least a month, and really more like 6. It should keep getting better with age too. I guess we'll find out.
