Bigs Barley Wine

Whisky is all the rage right now and I thought it only appropriate to feature a grain in my next wine. More specifically, Barley. If I could only age the wine in used Whiskey Barrels we would really have something, that is if you like whiskey. I've never made Barley wine, so I thought it only fitting to make a straight recipe and see what it's like before adding unnecessary flavorings.

It's a fairly straight forward wine to make. No fussing with fruit. Just soak the grains, chop them with raisins and add to a grain bag. Put the lot into a fermentation bucket and add the rest of the ingredients. The only special ingredient you need is Amylase, which helps prevent a starch haze and helps break down the sugars in the grains. If you are interested in the recipe I'll post it here soon.
