sooo I just checked out this arrogant bastard clone I made. Its a 1.072 beer with 72IBU all chinook. 18 days ago I put in 2oz oak cubes in cheese cloth bag and dropped it in the keg. I had soaked the cubes in roughly 4oz of whiskey for three weeks and dropped them in. Sooo I tasted it out today and the stuff is unbelievably good. I gotta make another batch of this **** ASAP. So I went to yank the cubes and first they sank so I had to fish them out with a racking cane. Next time I guess I need to put a piece of string through the gasket or something. So then I cracked open the keg and it looked like a very thin pellicle was trying to form or something. The layer was very very thin, white... here's a photo after I fished out the oak. It doesn't look like mold. It looks just like little tiny chunks of **** floating.
Do you think thats sap/residue from the cubes or something? I suppose it could be brett, but the beer isn't sour and there was no O2 in there for it to take off. Lol.. not like I could taste it anyways with how bitter and delicious it is.
Anyways, either ways i'm going to drink this **** up like a champ. It tastes so damn good!!! I guess next time around boil the oak and dump in 4oz of bourbon straight up.
