For this British Barley wine we tried to stay using all UK products in the grain bill and hops. We choose a grain bill that will produce a malty profile along with a lengthy boil which helps to provide an amber color which is typical for an English Barley wine. The oats we added in the grain bill help to add a "chewy" mouthfeel. For our hops we choose Northdown because its an English hop because it can produce a piney/floral/berry aroma which fits the somewhat fruity profile of an English Barley wine. We decided to use Omega OYL 016 because it produces a fruity flavor at ceiling fermentation temps, which separates it from the American Barley wine and also fits the characteristics per the BJCP guidelines.
