American Barley Wine

Specifics

Style:

American Barleywine — BJCP Style Information

Category:	Strong Ale
Number:	19C

A well-hopped American interpretation of the richest and strongest of the English ales. The hop character should be evident throughout, but does not have to be unbalanced. The alcohol strength and hop bitterness often combine to leave a very long finish.

Commercial Examples: Sierra Nevada Bigfoot, Great Divide Old Ruffian, Victory Old Horizontal, Rogue Old Crustacean, Avery Hog Heaven Barleywine, Bell’s Third Coast Old Ale, Anchor Old Foghorn, Three Floyds Behemoth, Stone Old Guardian, Bridgeport Old Knucklehead, Hair of the Dog Doggie Claws, Lagunitas Olde GnarleyWine, Smuttynose Barleywine, Flying Dog Horn Dog.

General Information

Method:

All Grain

Substituted 3 oz of 10.8% Centenial for Magnum.

This was my first attempt at a parti-gyle, I missed my volume on the first running so I added about a gallon of the weaker runnings. which I had too much of.

At the end of the day I ended up with 5 gallons of 1.101 American Barley Wine, and 6 gallons of 1.044 Best Bitter.

2/19/12 - Added cultured Orval dregs (Brettanomyces Bruxellensis) to one gallon of this barley wine, will give this at least a few months before tasting.

5/7/12 - Brett portion gravity measured 1.011.

11/16/12 - Bottled Brett portion into 11oz bottles.
