Notes: Mash all grains except chocolate wheat malt at 149° F (65° C) for 90 minutes. Powder chocolate wheat malt in a clean coffee grinder and sprinkle the powder over the top of the mash, then fly sparge as normal.

Chill wort to 70° F (21° C), pitch yeast, and monitor for activity. As soon as fermentation begins, chill to 64° F (18° C) and make sure you’ve attached a blowoff hose.

White Labs WLP007 Dry English ale yeast (optional, to increase
attenuation) (add at high krausen.

After fermentation is complete, rack to secondary and age four months to a year.

Original was Fawcett Maris and Fawcett Dark Crsytal.

Notes: First off, you'll notice that I calculated this Barleywine at 52% brewhouse efficiency. The first time I brewed this recipe, I calculated it at 60% (I had never attempted anything like this before), but only got 52%. If you're using a cooler mash tun, you're going to want to pick up another cooler and split the mash between the two. If you do so, recalculate your efficiency accordingly.

Don't go with the standard 1.5 qt/lb water/grain ratio with this one. This is meant to be a chewy beer, so we're gonna go with 1 qt/lb in the mash. We'll do a full hour at 144°F to make sure the beta-amylase is happy. Still want some palatable malty sweetness, so raise it up to 158°F for 25 minutes and let the alpha enzymes do their thing. Mash out at 168°F.

Don't rush any of the processes or cut back on any expenses when you brew this beer. If you're going to attempt something like this, go hard or go home. Water chemistry, pH stabilizers, yeast nutrient, etc.; she deserves it all!

Note the 2-hour boil time.

The best way to ferment this is by collecting the yeast from a previous batch. You'll have a significantly higher cell count.

If this is your first time brewing this, you'll want to make two 2 Liter starters with the White Labs WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast. It's an English Ale that has fruity notes that shine through better at higher gravity points, so have fun with it.

*Pro-Tip: Make your second starter out of the boiling wort and dilute it down to 1.040 SG. It'll make the starter environment closer to the one you're pitching into*

Pitch the first starter slurry at 65°F after you aerate the crap out of the wort. For you carboy-shakers, that means 5 minutes of vigorous shaking. If you're worried about over-oxygenating your wort (which is pretty hard to do with a brew of this size), use the olive oil method by dipping the tip of a sanitized sewing pin into olive oil and stirring it into the chilled wort.

After 48 hours, hit this bad boy with another dose of oxygen to ensure maximum yeast reproduction and full attenuation (if you used the olive oil method, skip that step), then immediately pitch the second starter slurry (still at 65°F).

*Note: It's important to yell "SEND IN THE CALVARY!!!" when you pitch your second starter*

After primary fermentation starts to slow down a bit, melt 4 lbs of dextrose down into a simple syrup/caramel (DON'T BURN IT!), then pitch directly into the fermenter. You don't want to use too much water to make the syrup. Don't add the sugar at flame-out (like many recipes call for), because you want the yeast to chew through the maltose first, then let it get to the simple sugars. If you pitch the yeast after the dextrose, it will chew through the simple sugars first, and then be too tired to get through all of the maltose.

Primary fermentation at 65°F for 3-5 weeks. In the old days, the English Barleywine brewers would roll the barrels around the courtyard after primary fermentation to rouse the yeast. I like to go by tradition, so shaking the carboy at around the 4 week mark should do the trick. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! After rousing the yeast on my first batch, I saw a significant increase in activity over the next few days. Once you're sure primary activity is done, go ahead and move onto secondary fermentation. Make sure you save that yeast for another batch!

Secondary fermentation at at 68-69°F for 2-6 months (use a CO2 blanket if you want to be safe)

If you're bottling, use a priming solution made of 3.5 oz of priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch. Pitch this solution along with another 1/2 package of WLP099.

Give this beer a few months to condition before preliminary tasting. Don't babysit; let the yeast do the work for you. Trust me, you'll reap the rewards in the end.

Save a few bottles by cellaring at 55°F (lay the bottles on the side). Try to plan it out so that you open one bottle each year for the next 10 years, and watch the flavors develop. Save them for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, your biannual air filter changing, etc.)

Happy Brewing and Cheers!

Notes: To reduce the vegetal flavor you can sub 35ml of hop extract for the 7 oz Columbus bittering addition.

Do a 1.5L yeast starter and step up to a 3L yeast starter to get the desired pitching rate. Oxygenate 90 seconds with pure O2. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then add the second set. Age five more days then cold crash for 1 day. Fine with gelatin and then bottle or keg the beer.

Notes: 2L starter x 2days. Decanted off starter beer. Added 1 pack US-05 (and included extra mash step at 148) to account for 1084's poor attenuation. Next time, will decrease lactose to 1.5 lbs. Too milky for my taste, but folks love it. Super creamy! Also will slightly decrease Magnum hops to around 22 IBUs.

Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
Team to discuss adding cinnamon, vanilla and other spice extracts for secondary.

Basic cinnamon extract recipe -

2 sticks cinnamon, roughly cracked

4 oz Vodka

Soak cinnamon in vodka, shake routinely for ~ a week, strain and add to taste

Chris Moon brought a sample of his Yorkshire version with a full 4 oz of cinnamon extract on the 2012 LA Brewery Bus Trip and it was amazing. A little sweet, but dead on in taste like an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie!

The raisins in the boil may have been the source of a haze that stuck around for the life of the beer, but overall the beer was a real winner and needs just a little extra tweaking to be truly awesome.
