13.1% Beer for 13.1 Mi Run
In late April, I’m going to run my first half marathon. I know I’m a little late in the game pulling this together and it won’t be ready in time, but I’m brewing it anyway – a 13.1% barleywine. If you’re not familiar, 13.1 mi is the distance of a half marathon.
I’ve never brewed anything close to being this high. Think my highest is in the low 7% arena. So I’m curious how close I can get here.
Still tinkering with the malt bill & when to add the hops, but here’s my recipe so far:
3-Gallon Batch of Barleywine
Grains
7.5# Maris Otter
7.5# Vienna Malt
.3# Amber Malt
.3# Wheat Malt
1# CaraPils
.2# Victory
.2# Caramel 60L
.3# Candi Sugar
Hops
1.5 oz East Kent
.5 oz Fuggles
Yeast
White Labs English Ale
Planning on brewing it this weekend. Fingers crossed.
