I have just been asked to make the first barley wine for my brewery. I am brewing on a 7 bbl system and using the Brewhouse efficiency I found I am going to need about 800-900lbs of malt.
Looking at a few recipes I found that the malt bill asks for 65-75% pale and then the rest of the malt bill is 5-10% of each of crystal, Dextrin, Munich; with 2-5% of wheat for body and a touch of roasted/chocolate which seems like mostly for color.
Dose this sound right? I want to double check before I use that much grain on a off style beer.
Cheers!
