In the last month or so, I've brewed for two group barrel-aged projects. Both are 50+ gallons. I've never participated in projects like this before, so am interested in seeing how it turns out. Some of our thinking is that we might bring a keg of each to next year's AHA conference in Grand Rapids, for the homebrew club night.
The first is a Tripel and the second is an Imperial Mild (like that even makes sense ) For the Tripel, we all brewed at our homes but using the same recipe. For the Imperial Mild, some of use hauled equipment to a friends farm and had a shared brew day, which was fun.
Here I am, brewing in the corn crib:
Anyone else doing group projects, or barrel-aged brews? I'm thinking about buying a 30 gallon barrel from a local distillery (Koval) and doing another project with a friend - each of us doing 15 gallons.
