  Just following up in case anyone else decides to do this, as I cleared the barrel out
  yesterday. I basically did what a few of you suggested and used a bung with 2 holes and
  pressurised the barrel, tu...

  Not a bad idea with the micro brewery hookup. There's a place within 10 minutes from my house
  that should have a barrel-aging program. Will give them a call today.I guess even if a racking
  cane only g...

  Seriously thinking I might need to rent a cherry picker. Better yet, perhaps I find some
  hipster mechanic who will trade me his cherry picker for a few cases of PBR? :ban:

  Soooo, my brew buddy and I got the bright idea of filling up a couple of 60gal wine barrels
  with beer. It tastes fantastic, but it's now at the point where we need to get them off the oak
  and we didn'...

  Also amazed this hasn't sold yet ...For any of you on the fence, realize you can expand this
  thing to fit up to 7 corny kegs by building a wood collar out of 2"x10"(12"?) to fit 3 more
  kegs on the com...

  How big are your barrels? Just a heads up that if you have the 60gal barrels and intend to fill
  them in new oak, the oak will take on much faster than you expect. I have a 60gal 3yr used
  (pinot noir) ...

  Hey there. Just curious to see if you tried your recipe and how it turned out? This was a group
  favorite from my trip on Sep'10 and now that we just got it distributed on the west coast, I've
  revived ...

• Posted in thread: Attempting Saison...suggestions? on 08-04-2011 at 02:32 AM
  Sounds tasty! I have only brewed and consumed one 10gal batch (other is in primary), but I
  believe it's all about the yeast. I suggest doing a yeast starter to get an idea of the crazy
  fruit notes in ...

  For the regulator, I'd go with a dual regulator more for serving at two different carb levels.

  while others ...

  Congrats! AG can be a royal PITA sometimes, but getting within ballpark of OG and having a good
