Barley Wine, Part I

Today I begin my six month batch of Barley Wine. First impression is that I am very excited by how dark the grains made the steeping water within five minutes. Add to that a total of 12 lbs. of Dark Barley Malt and two types of hops (2 oz. of Cascade & 1 oz. of Willamette), I think this is going to be a wonderful brew to enjoy this fall.
