Butter Beer

This new batch is a copy of one I brewed earlier last year. I haven’t been brewing much, so I thought I would get an old favorite out and try some experiments. I will be brewing this more times till the end of the year. I did want to get a Barleywine in as well. The last batch was great, so I had to bring this favorite back for more. I am using 1 oz of Styrian Golding hops at 45 minutes and then used Saaz at 15 minutes, the last change in flavor wasn’t that noticeable and made a great flavor. I’m interested in how an extra 5 minutes will change this. I’m sure it won’t be much and this will come out with the same butterscotch flavor as always. Next time I will try another experiment.
