Brewers Notes:
we collected 30 litres of wort to start the boil. If you have a big enough pot you could collect a few more litres.When all was done there was 20 litres to bottle.We actually brewed two 23 litre
batches of this beer at the same time and made a bitter out of what was left in the two mashtuns.
This Barley Wine will keep you warm on a cold Canadian winter night.
