My dads dog passed suddenly a couple months ago. In memory we want to brew a barleywine and bottle it with labels. The recipe is Old Ruffian
Batch Size: 6.25 gal
Boil Size: 10.54 gal
Color: 10.1 SRM
Boil Time: 60 min
Est OG: 1.116 (26.9° P)
Est FG: 1.029 SG (7.3° P)
ABV: 11.7%
Ingredients Amount Name Type #
26 lbs 4.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
10.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM)
10.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (80.0 SRM)
5.0 oz Wheat, Flaked (1.6 SRM)
3.5 oz Chinook [13.0%] - Boil 60 min
2.0 oz Amarillo Gold [8.5%] - Boil 30 min
3.0 oz Amarillo Gold [8.5%] - Boil 5 min
I want to add oak cubes that have been soaked in some johhnie walker black. I have never done this but think it might add some good flavor. My question is how long should the oak cubes soak? When should I add them to the beer? How long do I keep them in the beer?
I plan on bottle conditioning this beer so that it will be ready around Christmas time. Any suggestions are welcome.
