Barleywine #48

For MLK Day, I made a beefy barleywine. Gonna have to age this one.
I will most likely force-carb this one, then bottle to age.

Barleywine #48
AKA Baroak Obarleywine

Style - American Barleywine-style Ale

Grains:
10.5# 2-row

Hops:
1.0 oz Yakima Magnum 13.5% - 90 min
1.0 oz Willamette 4.6% - 15 min
1.0 oz Mt. Hood 4.0% - 5 min

Mash at 149F for 90 min with 1.4 qts/lb.
Run off first 2 gals, set aside. SG =~1080
Sparge to collect another 4 gals. Calc total gravity:
2 gals x SG[1] + 4 gals x SG[2] = VOL x 84
2 x 85 + 4 x 32 = VOL x 84
170 + 128 = VOL x 84
298 = VOL x 84
298 / 84 = VOL
VOL = 3.54 gals
Boil second wort until SG ~1060, add first wort, boil for one more hour.
THEN add bitterring charge, boil until desired VOL obtained.
Pitch 2 pkts of US-05 in 6 gal carboy.

OG = 1076 (a little low. plus I ended up with 4 gals. shoulda been 3!)
IBU = 106


UPDATE (2/8/09):
Secondaryinfg this with 1 oz. medium toast American oak chips. I think this is too much. Not sure how to cut that. I'm sure it'll be fine. And it's ony 3 gallons.
