This is what 4-ish gallons of barleywine on a garage floor looks like

I had a cobra tap hooked to a keg that failed.
Fred from the driveway sounds like something HotD would do.
 
Has anyone notice a difference in flavor and meatiness of hops with adding hops between 1-15 minutes left in the boil? My standard hopping rate has been 60 mins and flameout on the hot side. I have noticed in some recipes call to add hops at 15 or 20 minutes. Can anyone share some insight on this?

It's more typical old school hop additions. Very common before the ipa crazy really pushed the envelope on hop additions. You get more IBU utilization by adding them earlier in the boil. Also depends on what type of beer calls for it.

What Phischy said. When I started I was basically told that you made a beginning of the boil addition for bitterness, late boil for some flavor and some bitterness, flameout for flavor and aroma, and dry hop for aroma. I still usually use an addition somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes from flameout in most of my recipes.

I find a 13 minute addition adds a nice beef tenderloin flavor
 
Anyone have any experience with black and purple raspberries? Specifically how acidic they are relative to red raspberries? Got a potential blend that I don't want to get too tart so I'm debating following through with fruit.
 
Have a line on a red wine barrel from my favorite winery in Paso Robles and badly want to buy it and fill it with a saison, but have no idea how the hell I would brew that much beer 5 gallons at a time. I think I need more friends that brew :mad:

I feel your pain but have the same problem. I love red wine barreled pretty much everything. Far easier to oak age the beer and cut in some wine at bottling or in the glass. I mean, if you could brew and drink through 59 gallons it would be worth it to get the barrel. I don't have the brewing or stomach space.

People who are trying to get wine character out of used wine barrels are doing it wrong.
