Hi all,
I was considering brewing an American Barleywine and found the below recipe on another forum. (couldn't contact the poster because its from a few years ago and I'm also not registered).
I thought it would be perfect to use up the Summit and Columbus hops I have getting old in my freezer. I might also swap out the Simcoe for Northern Brewer.
Anyway the person who posted the recipe said it turned out lovely a after about 3 months aging. I started filling it in Beersmith and realised it has 200 plus IBUs
He didn't calculate any IBUs for the 0 min additions so you can add an extra 20 to 25 IBUs for that.
Would be one kick-ass beer but I'd just be a bit worried that it would be too bitter.
What do you think?
Thanks
