Barrel Project - Barrel Aged EKG Barleywine






After trying so many barrel aged beers, and talking way too long about making one as a club project, we finally did it. With a 15 hour brew day, seven homebrewers converged at my house and brewed 14 different batches of barleywine on our homebrew systems. We blended the wort into different fermenters and pitched a huge slurry of Wyeast London ESB yeast #1968. After a week of fermentation, I added another slurry of Wyeast American Ale yeast #1056. I encourage any brewer on homebrew club to try this project. Here is the recipe.
