Bourbon Barrel II - The Empire Strikes Back

UPDATE

Unfortunately, the burbon barrel that Jason so lovingly took care of for months has a mold issue. Instead of housing beer, this barrel is destined to be furniture.

On the upside, the project is still moving forward. We'll be using the same barrel that we have now once it gives up the Baltic Porter it currently is housing in March 2009. We'll have an imperial stout just in time for the 2009 holiday seaon!

-------------------------------------------

Get ready - the bourbon barrel is back!

As discussed in our meeting on November 13, 2008, Kelly and Jason Kruegel have a bourbon barrel that is just longing to house 55 gallons of brew.  What to put in it?

An Imperial Stout.

Sign up below if you are willing to contribute a brew session to this cause.

Indicate in a comment to this post how many gallons you will contribute.  Remember, Russian Imperials are BIG beers, so plan on a bit more $$ for this one.  On the upside, it'll be a BIG beer aged in an oak barrel!

Greg Geiger will coordinate the recipe formulation.

Let's build an Empire!

Vashé zdorov'ye!
