Maybe I can be the mascot for the thread?

I think three weeks time is plenty. If something comes up, we all understand.

Good news, the box was delivered this morning.
Bad news, this person has no idea its coming lol
Was it at least sent to someone on the list?
It should only be sent to who is on the list right?
When (if) I get the Box of Yum (if it actually exists), I'm going to pack it up with awesomeness when I'm done and hide it somewhere in the garage where I won't find it for a month. Then get all excited when I find it. Enjoy the goodies. Post a pic and then repeat.

I knew you were underage. Reported lol. Getting another barrel this weekend. Need to brew something for it soon.
Well hell, wasn't me. My porch is emptier than mother Hubbard's cupboard!
Haha for a scientist, you sure aren't very observant.
I was 12 in that picture but sure didnt feel underage considering the things going on that weekend. Harley Davidson knows how to throw a party. :rockin:
I didnt realize you already had a barrel. what size and type of barrel you getting? Any idea what beer you're gonna put in it?
I know the pic is from 2003 . I got a Garrison Brothers 15 gallon barrel with a wild tart cherry boubon quad in it that I put in in 2014. That will be removed soon and going to ferment a saison in it. The other should be the same but the brewery did not specify what they are. These are going to be third use. Need to get my self a fresh one one day.
that beer sounds fantastic! Fresh as in brand new or freshly dumped of liquor? Id like to try a freshly charred barrel someday.
Fresh in just dumped from the distillery. Havent bought one yet. Just 3rd use because its cheaper
How much was your first one?
We had a gorgeous, fiery orange sunrise this morning. I didn't fall out of bed in time to snap a picture, unfortunately. It has been a fairly common occurrence lately though.
Wasnt expecting this challenge this week so I didn't have much for fresh additives so I had to grab out of the pantry.
This is Big Ricc with cherries and dark chocolate

Wish I had fresh cherries or at least maraschinos on hand as I'm not getting much from the dried ones, but the chocolate is coming through nicely.
Stayed with the Big Ricc but did toasted chopped unsalted peanuts and shaved 90% cacao bakers chocolate. Threw in a bit of pink Himalayan sea salt at the end. It's like a liquid peanut butter cup!

Turned out beautifully!!
Sorry for double posting so much. Got the next experiment going. I made some bourbon maple toasted pecans and threw them in with the hickory stick stout I got from Hello. Just hoping I didn't over toast it all and get too much burn out of it. Let you all know soon.
