Hey everybody,
Since I have just obtained a freshly emptied Irish Whiskey barrel, I went about thinking of the best ways to use that amazing flavor, and decided that #1 would be a barleywine. I'm formulating a recipe for it, but wanted to see what some of y'all might have to say about grain bills and or hops that would meld well with some of those flavors.
What I have on hand;
35# of Golden Promise
2# of Cascade leaf
some odds and ends
Hmm... now that I think of it, irish whiskey barrel plus GP plus cascade might make a match made in heaven. Any thoughts on specialty grains in a decent size barleywine recipe?
