I blended a small amount in an oatmeal stout and it was delicious.
I totally get what you are saying about simply adding the Crown to the finished beer to achieve the desired flavor. I don't mind doing that glass to glass for experimenting.
However, the anal (insert joke here :ban:)...
I won a 5 gallon Balcones barrel in a competition. The barrel was bone dry. I have since filled it with water to seal it back up, not a fun task.
I'm really digging the idea of aging an English barleywine in it after soaking it in Crown Royal Maple.
1. Is it okay to soak the barrel in...
I have the 14 gallon pot from NorCal (same as MoreBeer). Other than trimming .5" off of the short side of the tube, this is what I've got. I would like to minimize my dead space. Points:
1. I currently leave behind 4 cups (32oz) with this setup
2. I have a bazooka tube on the way...

I received my cacao today and, UH OH, it is roasted. I didn't even think to specify it with her.

Quite a few years ago I "won" a corny in my club's raffle. The problem is that the keg is missing the pinlock fittings, gas/liquid tubes, and pressure relief valve.
Basically, all it has is the lid (with hole for relief) and the keg.
Buying those parts will seemingly run higher than the...
I would like a code too please.
And what is the build quality of the 14 gallon brewpot? There are no specs as to thickness, bottom, etc. Is it like the thin generic pots or somewhat thicker?
Here's my eternal project (not to mention the garage that is forever needing to be organized)
Here's the front of my freebie fridge in the garage.
