This is the best beer I've ever brewed (and getting better by the year!) The hops may not seem to be enough, but it is. Watch out, you can get addicted to barleywine!

Ingredients:

10 pounds Munton & Fison light unhopped extract
2 pounds marigold honey
4 ounces Fuggles leaf hops (boil)
1 ounce Cascade pellets (finish)
Munton & Fison ale yeast
champagne yeast

Procedure:

Boil malt, honey, Fuggles for 60 minutes. Add Cascades in last five minutes. Pour in fermenter with 3-1/2 gallons cold water. Pitch ale yeast. When fermentation subsides, pitch champagne yeast. When clear, rack to secondary. Let sit a long time and then bottle. Age at least one year.

Specifics:

Secondary ferment: Long time
