Ah ha. I hope this is the case. Thanks.

I recently racked (23 days ago) a big brown ale on top of an oak spiral which had been soaked in bourbon. I broke the spiral in half before adding it. Maybe a week later I noticed some bubbles forming around the floating spirals. It's obviously not still fermenting, I tasted it yesterday...

Anyone else experience this?

Woke up this morning to a mad crazy fermentor. No thoughts on the recipe? :)

Can anyone weigh in on how well this works? I was thinking about adding a spiral of lightly toasted American white oak to a freshly kegged saison. The package suggests one spiral per 3 gallons... Any thoughts?

So everything worked out nicely? It looks like I may have to do the exact same thing. Was your beer carbonated when you racked it into the carboy?

What a way to break in the new keg, having the same problem... When I open my picnic tap nothing happens. It must be way clogged. There are chunks of hop debris throughout the line, I have no idea what to do. It's only been two days, should I just wait the rest of the week then attempt to...

Theoretically should I be able to pour beer from a keg that has been under 20 PSI while slowly chilling in the fridge? It's been in there for a few hours and nothing happens when I open the picnic tap. The hose has some beer in it but wont move when I open the tap? Do I have a clog? It's a...

I added about 5 cups of watermelon juice to a kolsch yesterday. I racked the beer on top of the juice in secondary. Its been over 24 hours and I have no sings of fermentation. I thought it would have re-started rather quickly.... Hmmmm. I guess just give it some time.

Boom! This IPA rocks. 3 weeks in the bottle, gorgeous.

Mikkeller Big Worse Bourbon. Becoming a favorite..

Any updates on this one? I am about to bottle after four months on the bourbon/oak. So I shouldn't have any carbonation issues given the long time in secondary? I plan to add 1oz of priming sugar per gallon.
