Brewing this today. I've had some oak cubes soaking in Dickel Whiskey that has been on top of my refrigerator for at least 8 months. I just haven't brewed a beer yet that I wanted to use them on. So today is the day. It's a pretty basic grain bill for a stout, and the hops I just threw together based on what I had in the freezer. The first wort summit and nuggets are fresh from this years harvest. Hop union sent us some samples so we could pick out what lot we wanted fro our contract this year.
