Barley Wine Extract Kit

O.G: 1082 / Ready: 6 months

Send the kids to bed when you break this one out. One of our strongest beers, this one requires a lot of aging. BABW is a huge ale with a huge malt bill and lots of hops to balance it. Another great English invention, there's no better holiday beer. Just brew a batch, wait, and congratulate yourself in a year. Consider cutting this recipe back to 4 gallons to achieve a gravity of 1.100!
