So in a wierd coincidnece, yesterday on the U3 thread a guy asked how the U3 was going. I have to take my lumps like a man. I dish it out, I need to take it. U3 was a bust. We just couldn't get it to finish. Despite everything we tried we just couldn't get the ****** to come. Got her good and heated up but couldn't quite get her over the edge. (I'm blaming every single bit of that on Chris, according to what I've been told by somebody who would know, (AKA MrsYeager) that is usually the way things go.)
So it was probably around 18% ABV by the time we threw in the towel. (I'm strictly going on memory here, much to lazy to try to figure out exactly what ABV we reached.) Anyways, it was undrinkable as it was, so we gave it to a guy who has a Wooba Gooba machine. He worked his magic on it and seperated out the various liquids that once lived inside the U3 into their component parts. He dropped it off at TWB recently and I'm going to pick up my share tonight. If any of you guys want to come by and try some I'll be there around 6.
I'm not making any definitive plans but given the complex nature of what was there to begin with I'm hoping it will age well with some toasted/charred oak. I've not seen the Wooba Gooba machine myself so I'm not certain if he ran it as a Reflux Wooba Gooba or a Pot Wooba Gooba.
