My RIS is now in the barrel. I'll be doing a taste every week to see how it's progressing. It already smells delicious.

The Sonoma Beerocrats are doing two 60 gallon, sour beers aged in wine barrels. The Flanders is being aged in a Cab barrel finished with Brett. The Second is being aged in a Chardonnay barrel finished with the house culture from Russian River Brewery. Both Barrels are being aged at Russian River’s production brewery's barrel room. They should be ready in about a year according to Vinnie.

Never tried barrels before but I just recieved two small 5 L barrels as a gift. One is going to be designated for Cider, the other for a Belgian tripel that has been in secondary for 4 weeks. Small barrels, so I probably won't leave either batch for longer than a month before bottling... Will I be able to bottle with priming sugar? I'm worried the yeast wont be active enough to carbonate...

I'll probably bottle mine this weekend. It was pretty nice on the whiskey side last week, but didn't have much oak to it. I'll need to store something in it until I can get brewing again. Damn snow and busy weekend.

Last night I taster my dark strong Belgian that sat in a barrel for a few weeks, and the whiskey taste is there, but the alcohol taste needs to meld back in, so I'll give it another month before I taste test again.

I have a persimmon mead that I'll be tasting in about a month as well, its been on oak for 2 weeks now.

Cheers

Lucas

RIS in mine, have not sampled yet, only been in the barrel a week or so. I added bourbon every so often and shook it around to keep the barrel wet/sealed.
