Notes
Barleywine: SG = 1.105, Hops = 3.5 oz Magnum (70), 1.5 oz Amarillo (0), 2 oz Centennial (0), 1 oz Cascade (0), 10 minute hop stand after turning off heat.

Sour: SG = 1.054, Hops = 2 oz Belma (mash), steeped 1 lb carapils for 30 minutes in mash. Boiled 1-2 gallons wort to increase mash temp to mash out and help with draining. Boil 15 minutes with wort chiller and cool before BW is done w/ boil. Had to extend the BW boil by 10 minutes b/c sour wasn't cool enough yet.

9/6/2016 - Transferred barleywine onto 2 oz medium toast oak cubes that were steamed in the microwave. SG=1.030, which seemed pretty high. Hopefully it'll drop a few more points as it ages, but likely not. Plan to add whiskey at kegging for a barrel aged character.
10/5/2016 - Kegged. FG=1.030. Still higher than anticipated FG, but the oak dried out the overall impression. Strong bitterness and mild hop flavor. Should age nicely.

Sour: 2/14/2017 - Added 3 lbs of mixed berries (raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry) to the fermenter after thawing and crushing.
2/21/2017 - Kegged sour. FG=1.004. Fruit aroma and flavor were more minimal than expected. Sour characteristics were more hay-like as I've experienced with fruited sours before. Planning on serving this one sooner rather than later to get the most out of the fruit.
