(I don't remember if I mentioned in a previous post, but this was a split batch--I used the first runnings for a barleywine, and added the dark grains and used the second and third runnings for the stout--so you really get two recipes in one here).

Posting this, I think it's time to draw a sample of the barley wine to taste and measure the F.G. I should also look up the alpha acid percentages for the hops. Stay tuned for further updates. And yes, as a Bears fan, Señor Brew™ hated to post a photo of the Packers celebrating their win, but what can you do?
I meant to come back to this but of course forgot (I can't even remember to post updates on my OWN damn blog)... How did it turn out with the split batch? Seems like an efficient brew day to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, and to clarify, I'm more curious about the stout (since you did provide a brief update on the barleywine).
ReplyDeleteThe stout turned out excellent. Best Cream Stout I've ever brewed. I have it entered in two competitions right now, we'll see how it scores. It may be getting a little long in the tooth to win though, I brewed it 4 months ago.
