I'm thinking about brewing one of these this weekend, anyone ever give one a try using Extract?

This is what i'm toying with so far, any input is welcome.

Thanks!
Dave

11.5L Batch.

0.16 kg Cara-Pils
0.26 kg Crystal Malt 60°L
0.15 kg Biscuit

4.24 kg Liquid Light Extract
0.19 kg Honey
55 g Cascade@ 60 min.
WYeast 1056

Then oak the shit out of it for a month...

Predicted
OG=1.121
FG=1.026
66.6 IBU
12.8 %

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!

how did your crazy RIS come out? Did you hit that OG?

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.

Cool thanks for the input.

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