An all Amarillo IPA

This is a 10 Gal batch of American Amber Ale. I actually brewed in the garage on the ground level and these photos show the wort being gravity fed down to the fermenter in the basement. Perfect 68 degrees!

The 2 on the left are lambics and the 2 newer barrels are awaiting something delicious. I also have 3 5 gallon carboys and 2 buckets.
Oh and the Bud-light can is there for topping off the lambic in the barrel to keep the HS down.

Very sad. As of yesterday, this is what my Caboy looks like for the first time in quite a while:

Can anyone diagnose my problem? There is no bubbling it seems really thin...

The big one is a club project that's gone buggy, and the little one's full of an oatmeal stout (3rd fill).

Hey man, how do you rack outta that small cask? I am ready to do the d@m4 thing!
 
How do you sanitize a barrel for fermenting?

The "coolship" is obviously a keg cut in half. What is the purpose of that?

You have quite the interesting brews going. I assume that you are in Alaska with the name Chugaach. Good hobby for winter? Steve
 
1. Burn some sulfur strips in it, campden tablets, etc. I didn't do anything to mine, I like wild stuff.

2. It's for collecting wild yeast.

3. I'm from AK, but currently in Maine for another 2 years. Wife is in residency. Plan is to move back to AK June 2015 and go pro. (but we'll keep that between us...)
 
Interesting. The wild yeast thing is all a mystery to me. I know that brewing existed before the existence of yeast or even microscopes was even known. Lambics and other beers use wild yeasts. My only experience with a wild yeast was a batch of Pale Ale that got a nasty "phenolic" taste. I had two carboys from the same brew kettle and only dry hopped one, which got the phenolic taste. It must have gotten infected while dry hopping. Several experts and Papazian.s book diagnosed the problem. The beer was beautiful and perfectly clear but undrinkable.
