I was given a couple of corny kegs that I was told held Margaritas sold at my local taverns Tiki bar during the Summer partys. $5 bills coming out of the tap all night....
The oxygen exposure alone would be a deal breaker. I like the idea of soaking charred pieces of barrel and adding to a keg. Thank you all for your insight!
My son has a friend that has what I have to assume at this point a freshly emptied whiskey barrel, A 52 gallon behemoth! I'm thinking an Imperial stout would be appropriate. I'm thinking a total batch between the 2 of us could only be maybe a 15 gallon batch max.
How would this be done using...
Had a nice pour and thought I should take a picture. I added a pound of local honey. Good tasting and 6.9% abv.
Bottled 15 for my Sister and kegged the rest. Definitely going to brew this one again!
Could a guy just put a lighter spring in the corny keg pressure relief valve and add say 5 oz of corn sugar to the keg? Just a random thought.
I do like the simplicity of a spunding valve on a gas in ball lock fitting. Does anyone sell those cheap?
The hops calmed down and have a slight citrus orange like taste that is nice! My wife seems to like it and couldn't have been any more simple. Good head on the beer and lace too.
I bottled my batch today, and it seems like Mosaic came through a little bold. I'm sure flavors will change after bottle conditioning for a few weeks at which time I'll leave another note. Abv came in at 5.6%.
I'm planning on doing a 5 gallon version of this recipe maybe this weekend. Can I do like a 2 week primary in a pail and skip the secondary? This will be my first all grain brew.
Also, how much corn sugar should I add to bottle?
So glad to be learning to brew! I've done wine before and 2...
