I just tapped mine last night. I won't have any Red Oak for comparison until I head to Greensboro in a month, but to my recollection, it isn't too far off. Either way, it turned out great for my first lager, so thanks for the recipe!
Did you do a single infusion mash, decoction, etc? I'm looking to brew this too, and was curious what you did. I just moved to St. Louis in Sept. after living in Greensboro for 7yrs, and I'm getting an itch for some Red Oak.
I had my eye on these for a while and was able to snag one early Tuesday morning before they sold out again. I'll have mine next Tuesday and will be putting it to use next weekend. I'm still looking to get a larger conical fermenter but couldn't pass up on this. Thrillhouse, I'll keep you in...
