Notes: First off, you'll notice that I calculated this Barleywine at 52% brewhouse efficiency. The first time I brewed this recipe, I calculated it at 60% (I had never attempted anything like this before), but only got 52%. If you're using a cooler mash tun, you're going to want to pick up another cooler and split the mash between the two. If you do so, recalculate your efficiency accordingly.

Don't go with the standard 1.5 qt/lb water/grain ratio with this one. This is meant to be a chewy beer, so we're gonna go with 1 qt/lb in the mash. We'll do a full hour at 144°F to make sure the beta-amylase is happy. Still want some palatable malty sweetness, so raise it up to 158°F for 25 minutes and let the alpha enzymes do their thing. Mash out at 168°F.

Don't rush any of the processes or cut back on any expenses when you brew this beer. If you're going to attempt something like this, go hard or go home. Water chemistry, pH stabilizers, yeast nutrient, etc.; she deserves it all!

Note the 2-hour boil time.

The best way to ferment this is by collecting the yeast from a previous batch. You'll have a significantly higher cell count.

If this is your first time brewing this, you'll want to make two 2 Liter starters with the White Labs WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast. It's an English Ale that has fruity notes that shine through better at higher gravity points, so have fun with it.

*Pro-Tip: Make your second starter out of the boiling wort and dilute it down to 1.040 SG. It'll make the starter environment closer to the one you're pitching into*

Pitch the first starter slurry at 65°F after you aerate the crap out of the wort. For you carboy-shakers, that means 5 minutes of vigorous shaking. If you're worried about over-oxygenating your wort (which is pretty hard to do with a brew of this size), use the olive oil method by dipping the tip of a sanitized sewing pin into olive oil and stirring it into the chilled wort.

After 48 hours, hit this bad boy with another dose of oxygen to ensure maximum yeast reproduction and full attenuation (if you used the olive oil method, skip that step), then immediately pitch the second starter slurry (still at 65°F).

*Note: It's important to yell "SEND IN THE CALVARY!!!" when you pitch your second starter*

After primary fermentation starts to slow down a bit, melt 4 lbs of dextrose down into a simple syrup/caramel (DON'T BURN IT!), then pitch directly into the fermenter. You don't want to use too much water to make the syrup. Don't add the sugar at flame-out (like many recipes call for), because you want the yeast to chew through the maltose first, then let it get to the simple sugars. If you pitch the yeast after the dextrose, it will chew through the simple sugars first, and then be too tired to get through all of the maltose.

Primary fermentation at 65°F for 3-5 weeks. In the old days, the English Barleywine brewers would roll the barrels around the courtyard after primary fermentation to rouse the yeast. I like to go by tradition, so shaking the carboy at around the 4 week mark should do the trick. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! After rousing the yeast on my first batch, I saw a significant increase in activity over the next few days. Once you're sure primary activity is done, go ahead and move onto secondary fermentation. Make sure you save that yeast for another batch!

Secondary fermentation at at 68-69°F for 2-6 months (use a CO2 blanket if you want to be safe)

If you're bottling, use a priming solution made of 3.5 oz of priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch. Pitch this solution along with another 1/2 package of WLP099.

Give this beer a few months to condition before preliminary tasting. Don't babysit; let the yeast do the work for you. Trust me, you'll reap the rewards in the end.

Save a few bottles by cellaring at 55°F (lay the bottles on the side). Try to plan it out so that you open one bottle each year for the next 10 years, and watch the flavors develop. Save them for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, your biannual air filter changing, etc.)

Happy Brewing and Cheers!

Notes: 5-29-2021 Pressure fermented .

6-4-2021 -- Dropped one pound of 2 row and droped 60l to .5 lb to get to under 5%. Also dropped the sparge. Changed up the hops dropped the oz of Spalt at 60 mins Dropped .4oz hersbruker at 10 and 5 mins, and dropped the hersbruker .5oz dryhop.

1-26-22 The beer got reviewed by the Brew Dudes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdFoHJEfv1o With that said going to bring back some hops and change out the water profile. Bumped the Gypsum from 3g to 7g. to get away from the balanced profile and try and make the hops pop a bit. With the hops I added another .5oz of tettnanger at 60 mins and added another .5oz tettnanger to the dry hop.
1-29-22. Ended up using Harvest as no more 34/70 at the shop.

Notes: Note to all - this is an attempt at a CASKED type ale. It might work as bottled beer, it might not. It is EXPERIMENTAL.

This is an English Strong Bitter (old style cask ale taste profile) a Golden Strong Bitter with a Cask Malt flavor. Originally made by Sam Smith Brewery, one of my favorite UK Breweries.

Mash in with all grains at 140 initially, raising the temperature while stirring to 151 to hold for 90 minutes. Batch sparge with an additional 12 quarts of water to collect 6 gallons of sweet wort.

Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. (Yes, this is in the recipe, but I initially tried the calculator at 30 minutes and I had a more sedate 43 IBUs. Thought about splitting it at 45 minutes...but it does have raw brown sugar introduced 7 days before bottling or kegging - this should provide a kind of "casked" taste as the yeast should re-ferment. Yeah - this can be a disaster...wondering if I might make a tiny little batch and see what happens if I secondary it in a minikeg - no gas, pinch of yeast - like you would for a REAL cask. I think I would need a spunding valve to offgas the excess CO2.)

The recipe calls to add the molasses and sugar, dissolved in a little wort, added "during the boil". I wouldn't add it until 15 minutes prior to the end, so it has less of a chance to scorch and burn. At the same time, add the whirlfloc tablet and yeast nutrient.

The modifications so far.
Recipe was for 20 quarts - I needed 5.5 in the fermentor so I can guarantee 5 gallons in the keg. So I raised the fermentables to:

7 lbs of 2 row from 5 lbs
12 ozs of Torrified Barley from 8 oz
10 ozs of light crystal from 6 oz

Used Windsor instead of "Brewer's Yeast" - suited the final gravity

Messed around with the hop schedule - if you put them all in for 90 minutes, you get 60+ IBUs which is way out of character for a strong bitter - 50 IBUs is about tops. So I changed the Fuggles to 2 oz from 2.5 after I made the fuggles go in at 60 minutes and the Goldings at 30. That gets you to 48 IBUs.
