Notes

Note: Late additions done during fermentation (the recipe says kettle but if I select fermentor the ABV is off)

I got box of six Muntons Barley Wine 1.5kg kits for really cheap so I'm going to see what I can do with them. Since they were so cheap I figure I can experiment with them.

Don't let the OG stated on the can fool you. The stated OG is after you add 40% sugar so the cans don't have as much sugar as it sounds. I calculated about 26.6 PPG but I'm probably wrong.

They come pre hopped to about 30 IBU/1.5kg/13l but the hops are a mystery. I've added six kits so I guess the IBU is 90 but who knows if it works that way.

I don't want to tie up my main fermentor because it might take a while to ferment and age so I'm using 25l container. I haven't made a batch this big before so not sure if I'll scale it right.

I also chucked in a packet of S-04 yeast because I thought the OG was going to be crazy when I stuffed up the PPG calculation and I was worried that the 1028 couldn't have done it on its own and s-04 is a similar(ish) yeast. If you make this recipe and only put two cans in originally, one 1028 pack would be fine I reckon.

I even after aging it for six months it was undrinkable and I tipped it all out.
I think the lack of temp control was the biggest culprit but also the hops made it very bitter and clashed with the malt in a bad way. I won't be doing this again in a hurry (although I would like to make a nice barley wine one day)
