Re: Fwd: Barleywine partial mash recipe?

Hi Mark, I was reading through some of your web pages and I ran across your information regarding barleywine <http://glewwe-castle.com/brewing/barleywine.html>. I'm currently taking a brewing class where we are preparing some partial mash recipes developed by the instructor. For the last few sessions of the class, we will be allowed to use other recipes we want to try, so long as we have a partner to split the 5 gallon batch. I'm interested in trying a barleywine batch, but I haven't come across what I feel is a reliable partial mash recipe. I've looked in some of the clone books and I see a few recipes like a clone for Thomas Hardy, but they look a little too complicated and call for some more exotic ingredients than we have available to us in our class. Do you have a good partial mash recipe for a barleywine that you can recommend? I'm looking for something that will age well and develop some cognac or brandy characteristics over time. Our classroom is fairly well stocked with the more mainstream malts and hops, but we have a limited selection of yeasts. The instructor is pushing a home-grown 1056 that has been cultured and recaptured from the trub over the last five or six years. Thanks in advance for anything you can provide.
