English Barleywine recipe from Mike Robinson

S04 Dry English Yeast (Whitbread) *and* WLP 002 or 033 (2 yeasts)

Rehydrate the dry yeast.??Use yeast nutrient??in the boil at 15 min. remaining.


Mash Schedule
-------------
I shoot the low end of the sach rest. So 148-150 deg F. Stir the mash at 1/2 way through and adjust your mash temp (if possible). The idea is to produce more fermentables.

Pure Oxygen 2 minutes.
