Still waiting on the FG actually haha... :wacko:
With that dextrose in there i'm hoping it'll come out around 1.020...i'm gonna chuck some EC-1118 in to finish it off if it's above 1.030 and getting sluggish. Apparently S-33 can attenuate better than 75%...here's hoping.
 
Did you really mash with 21 litres of water?
Yes...yes I did.
No sure why I included that detail, but yeah...worked out to be 2.6L of water per kg of grain. Quite thick.
Felt a bit disappointed using 50L water for only 21L of beer.

Truly epic! ;)
 
I've managed to score one of those wine barrels from Canberra. I'm thinking of doing 100L of barleywine and been browsing the recipes in the database. How did you like just going with 100% pale malt? Also, was 150g Topaz @ 10 mins the only hop addition? I'll be aging for at least 6 months in the barrel, so I want to start with a lot of hop flavour and let it mellow out over time.

Any tips?

My only tip would be to get rid of that shit Jersey in your avatar. :D
 
Thinking of doing something very similar for my 25L ex-Shiraz American oak barrel soon. Wanna keep it really simple as far as malt and hops go...hopefully get some flavour out of the barrel itself.
