Its midnight in Memphis. I have 23 lbs of Maris Otter resting at 150F. I'll take off tomorrow at noon and come home and parti gyle an American Barleywine and a Bitter of some sort, depending on the strength of the wort left after I do my BW. I'm shooting for 5.5 gallons of 1.100 wort for the BW and 5.5 gallons of 1.040 wort for the bitter. I'll be adding 20L and 80L crystal, special B, chocolate and some sugar to the BW; 40L crystal and maybe some sugar to the Bitter. |

Steve I've made a number of parti gyle barley wine/bitter combos and I really think simplicity is the key. I'm not saying don't, but be very stingy with the crystal, special B and chocolate. A little goes a long way. I'd actually be more inclined to reverse the speciality malt, or just go pure maris otter for the BW and speciality malts for the bitter.
If you just use the first runnings for the BW you probably wouldn't need to add any sugar. Unless you want to to add fermentables but not body. |

The BW is a recipe I got from The Jamil Show website. The Bitter is based on a recipe from a kit I brewed years ago and loved. The BW has a pound of each crystal and .25 pound of the special B and chocolate. I will steep the grains and add the juice to the kettle.It will be hopped to about 90 IBU with Perle, Cascade and a little Amarillo. The bitter gets up to one pound of crystal, depending on the gravity of the second runnings. Likewise, I will hop it appropriate to its gravity with Northern Brewer and Kent Goldings. |

Most of the JZ recipes seem really heavy on specialty malts. I used his recipe for a dark Belgian strong and it was way too thick, although yeast health might have been an issue. The mantra around here is for simple grain bills as that is what the pros use. Maybe larger scale brewing gets more flavor mileage out of specialty malts? Anyone else able to replicate JZ "award winning" results with his recipes? His IBU calcs seem really high too. |

I ended up just cold steeping the specialty grains for the Barleywine. I figure that will tone down the influence on the final product. |

It's my belief that JZ's recipes are deliberately on or over the top for the style he is brewing, to get it noticed in a competition. I don't think they are representative of the style, but extremes of the style. Only my opinion. |

I've heard that as well. But the only one I have done is the Flanders Red and it was great. |
