You don't *need* a barrel to sour.
I suggest you get started!

Getting ready to brew ~70 gallons of Wee Heavy on December 6th for our next barrel brew. This time we're hoping to score a Buffalo Trace or Maker's barrel.

Hopefully sometime next year I will be able to put my Foreign Extra Stout in some good bourbon barrel. At work the old owner still has 7 Buffalo Trace barrels in our warehouse for some reason. I need to convince him to give me one or sell me one cheap.

I have a brown porter that will go into mine soon. It's the second half of the same batch jezter6 has. I'll probably put it in after Thanksgiving.

Mine will be the 2010 batch of St. Bernard Christmas Ale that I will brew Thanksgiving weekend.

Might be worth a new thread but what adjustments do you make when brewing for barrel aging?
ABV- Higher gravity and higher alcohol? Since the alcohol will go down due to angel's share and since we're aging a beer for a while it seems to make sense. Is there a minimum ABV% you would brew for barrel aging? 6%? 7%? More? Sacc mentioned that the higher the ABV the faster the flavors seem to be extracted from the barrel. Body - Should we adjust the body? Will the beer come out of the barrel with more/less/the same amount of body as when it went in? Seems losing some alcohol might have the perception of more body but I'm just guessing. Sweetness - Adjust the sweetness to balance the wood/whiskey flavors? Hops - Keep aroma/flavor additions on the low side so they're not 'in the way' or on the high-side since they'll mellow with all the aging? Anything else?

My title was stolen

I have barrel envy. I did not get one from the group buy, but I do have a 1/3 share of the 65G lambic barrel project in Claphamsa's basement.

Just for s**ts, I tossed a Black Project Stout into mine on Tuesday for 8 days. I need to pick up some Jim Beam to keep it wet until I figure what else to brew in it. I hope it picks up some slight oak and bourbon flavors.
