The following beer recipe is featured in the November/December 2011 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!

Recipe courtesy of Charlie Papazian, a throwback from a 2011 issue of Zymurgy.

What Charlie called a ‘German experiment’, this extract recipe is a fun example of a barley wine using German style hops. To develop some roundness and integration of flavors, it’s advisable to give a minimum of at least 90 days cold days storage prior to packaging, plus post packaging aging. Be patient and your homebrew will reward you!
