Reason I am asking is because I don't know if we would be doing the FULL 55 gallon or half of that. If we have to do half, then I would probably need to carbonate the barrel to displace the air.

How would you carbonate an oak barrel?

Lakedawgs Did you flush your barrel with C02? And what type of beer was it and how long did you leave it in?

Did you add anything to the beer? Did it need more yeast or certain supplements?

Can you link me to his website?

Couple of us are thinking about putting either St. Arnold Lawnmower or Canebrake Envie pale ale in the barrel to age it. Any suggestions or should we we do it differently? First time working with the oak barrel.

Where do you live in Louisiana? I am only asking because I am looking to rent places in Lafayette.

Alright. I read somewhere that the Bottling Bucket is able to handle total of 12 pounds of grains. The original recipe only called for 9 lbs. I just wanted to err on the safe side instead of pushing the limits. I am leaning more and more on the original recipe but I really like storunner's...

I like this idea. Would it be better to do 5 lbs of grain with my current setup or should I go ahead and do the full 9 lbs of grain in the original recipe. For the mash step, should I start off with 2 gallons of water at 170F to mash the grains in the bucket. Or should I start with less...

Awesome. When are you planning on brewing? I won't be able to brew again in like 1 week or so. I probably will order the stuff from Midwest Supplies this upcoming week. Oh, do you mind if I substitute your Dry Yeast for Wyeast 1272 "American Ale II". I just like the overall characteristic...

I have a burner, and a bottling bucket. I planned on getting a 24x24 grain bag in the bottling bucket. Put all the grains in that bucket. I would heat up 1.25 or 2 gallon of 170 F water to dump in the bottling bucket. Stir occasionally, while I heat up another 2 gallon of 175 F water. After I...

Can somebody adjust this to a "Partial-Mash" brew? I am still learning how to brew with grains but I would definitely love to try this.

Haha. Where do I look for a traditional British IPA recipes?

How about soaking oak chips in Dr. Loosen's Riesling for a period of time then adding that flavor to an IPA beer? How do you think that would work?

Haha. Yeah. I should have said Everybody wins...Except Palmer and Pap.

I mean. Palmer doesn't charge anybody to read his materials on his website so I call fair game to print those out.

How about printing out Palmer's stuff offline at a library or at home and order Pap's book off abebooks just for one dollar. Everybody wins.

Well, the upside of the Papazian has some really interesting recipes for us to try out. I think his selection of stouts and porters offers shdy lot of options.
