it all started with an idea. let's get a bourbon barrel and make us some bourbon barrel stout. well, at first there were a couple of recipe candidates, but we all agreed on a Yeti Stout clone. we acquired a fresh bourbon barrel - which is currently hydrating in star San, assembled a team of participants, purchased grain, hops and yeast, and set a date for the brew.
the recipe was split into two 40 gallon brews:
the wort was transferred to a 150 gallon fermenter complete with a water cooled jacket which was made from an old ice maker.
everything went pretty smooth and we hit all of our targets. the brew is now in the fermenter bubbling away with a vengeance.
in a couple of weeks after fermentation is done - we'll xfer to the bourbon barrel and store in a chilled environment for about 9 - 12 months. we'll reconvine next year at this time to taste the fruits of our efforts.
we took scabs of pictures. i have uploaded some but will continue to upload the rest as i get em.
