I have been extract brewing for 3 years now. I started with big heavy beers (double IPAs, Imp. Stouts...), so I know a ting or two about those.
However, I am a beginner at all grain. I am currently making a cooler mash tun, and thinking about the first beer to brew with it.
I am leaning towards a barrel aged quad. Something that has the layers of complexity that Stickee Monkee has. I don't have a barrel can emulate it pretty well (my imp stout is ages with charred whiskey soaked oak chips). It disappears almost as fast as it is kegged, thanks to friends and co-workers.
However, I wonder if I am setting the bar too high for my first AG brew?
Anyone have some good recipes to study before I dive in?
