View attachment 5570891st true Bourbon Barrel. Very happy once it carbs up.View attachment 557084

7days. Was it you who recommend to check after a few days on Untapped? I need to thank you. It was sold as a 5, but
it emptied into 3.75gallons.

Sorry, I can't take credit for that suggestion
Interesting that it was sold as a 5 but fit less than 4! I've been tempted to get a barrel a couple times so I am always curious about peoples experiences

I remember filling to the brim but racked to 3.75 so don't know if 1.25 soaked into the wood?? My LHBS has oak cubes pre bourbon soaked, they smell awesome. Almost went that route but what the hell, barrel it is. Got a Quad fermenting now for the next run.

IDK, what you did before, but I soaked oak/bourbon for weeks then added all. There's no comparison! True barrel is the way to go imho.

By far, the best NEIPA attempt with my redesigned transfer system which sees no air. Think I'm on the path to better IPAs, my traditional nemesis.

I shared the Bellatrix (so oooooooohhhhhh good thank you Lou) with a very good friend and she beat me in monopoly... 4hr game. God damn. And the glass just came in today, I got two this is a teaser
 
Trade eachother NEIPAs? You going to supply HBs in Fellowship??

Probably not on this one, as it's @brandtrepair that has the NEIPA, and not at my place. I'm already stealing enough of his beer, sounds like he might share some though!

I've got one on deck, just need to find time to brew....which has been in super short supply this winter.
 
Yep yep yep. Late in celebrating. 13 brews later.

I need a beer.
