Looks good to me, I use extract in my big beers all the time. I did a nogne 100 clone with extract and it was great!

I don't think carapils will do anything steeped, and i think it's a bad idea in a Barley wine anyway. I think the honey is a waste as well. Ferments out with no flavour in beer.

Didn't quite hit the numbers we wanted, OG was 1.113 instead
