The secret of a good barley wine is ingredients and more ingredients - more expensive to brew but
it's like nothing that you can find in a store. Pushing 10% alcohol, this needs to age for awhile, it
mellows nicely after a few months.

14 lbs. RMBS Light Malt Extract (unhopped)
4 oz. Centennial hops (44 HBU) for bittering
2 oz. Tettnanger hops for aroma
1 packet of ale yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar for priming

Boil extract and bittering hops together for 45 minutes in two gallons of water to sterilize and blend
flavors. Add finishing hops and boil for 15 more minutes. Age at least some for a few months (it's
hard!).
