    Oak chips/ Oak barrel

    So I have a few questions each for barrel and chips. Barrel People; 1). Are you using charred whiskey barrels or non? 2). Do you purge the barrels with C02 to get the Oxy/air out or just add beer and an air lock or bung? Chips/Cube people; 1). Are the chips/cubes charred or just plain...

    Squirrels and Hops?

    I have a ton of squirrels in my area, and the only problem I have ever had is with them burying the peanuts they steal from my neighbors yard (she actually feeds them so I guess its not theft) in my mulch. Then my Corgi goes out and digs them up and eats them LOL.....

    MacPelican's Wee Heavy, clone help !

    Well..... This beer has kicked my ass from the start! I have not been able to get it to the point I feel it should. I have made 4 attempts at it and it has always come out a little different.
