I just ordered a used 5 gallon whisky barrel and plan on aging an imperial brown ale. The barrels hold a little closer to 6 gallons so I'm planning on brewing two 4 gallon batches, blending them and then racking that into the barrel. I'll bottle the remaining straight for comparison later.
Anyway, here's the recipe I built using ingredients I have on hand. What do you think?
Other grains I have on hand that I could use:
* Cara aroma
* C-60
* Melanoiden
* Munich 10
* Vienna
