I saw you typed that it should be in the primary for 1 week and secondary for a month, did you mean the other way around? Only one week in the primary seems kinda short to me...

Any special considerations for carbing? (3.5 oz corn sugar for 2.2 volumes)
Do I need to add more yeast?
thx

Brewing this bad boy this weekend, got an enormous starter chugging away right now!
I plan to brew a 2.5g version this week. It's my first barleywine, so I'm pretty excited for it. I'll let you know how it goes.
I am considering brewing this in a few weeks. My system can't handle this amount of grain so I was thinking of brewing 2 or 2.5 gallons. Maybe even one gallon.
I'm curious to know how yours turned out.
I brewed this in last fall, and everything went well, just a bit low on my OG (1.084), but hit my FG and just opened a bottle. It tastes very bitter after ~5months, but when I let it warm up a bit I can definitely get that malty sweetness at the back end. Will that hop bitterness fade with time or was I bit too low on my OG? I am thinking of letting this sit for a few more months before I open another.
Well, it is 95 IBU per the recipe. :rockin: It won't be malt-forward.
Most of the barleywines I've tried do have a lot of hop bitterness to them, but it will fade/become more complex over time. So was this brewed in Fall 2012? If so, I'd definitely wait a few more months. My brew of this is about a year old, and is wonderful now, but was really hitting its stride in the six to eight month range.

Brewed this up yesterday. I collected 1gal too much wort for some reason even after a 90 minute boil. Ended up with 6gal at 1.092. I have a feeling my grain absorption rates need to be adjusted in beersmith. I've been overcollecting lately, but just not by this much.
Regardless, I'm satisfied with the result. 1 thing about this beer though- I made a stepped 3l starter and this thing absolutely exploded right off the bat. We're talking 'I needed to use a 5 gallon bucket just to control the blowoff' violent fermentation at <12 hours in.
