Anyone want a whiskey barrel?

Would make an interesting group project where we'd buy between us and fill between us, and leave for 6 months to age etc.

I was going to take one, but realistically I don't have the space to store it in my shed.

It would be nice but space is a big issue for me too. Also, how would you keep it a suitable temperature for extended period.

Any Liffey brewers with a cellar?

[Snuff]

Sorry, I don't have the space either.

Folks,

If anyone fancies making a contribution to the South Dublin Brewers barrel, we could use another few participants.

The barrel will be sited in Blackrock, and at the moment we're looking at an Imperial Porter type recipe devised by Rossa, which includes lots of amber, brown and black malts.

grand  I'm easy, I suppose itll have  2 b a strong beer to survive a gud few months?

If ye dont find a celler or suitable store I can offer a full shade lean-to and giv it a drafty corner.

Re temp control, id say being wood itll have gud insulation properties so the beer temp will stay an avg of night & day temp in summer, dat shud b cool enough?

[Dodge]

Looks good. I agree that we should do an imperial stout, keeping the recipe simply to the style and allow the barrel to work its magic.

I have said that I can brew 2 batches to help fill it but please if there is others that want to join, I'll reduce my contribution to just 20l. This should be a lovely beer for x-mas time

[brenmurph]

maybe a kildare brewday can do one and add it if no one else does.  It may be an extra novely for our next event. Either way if nessesery I have do exra; I have de capacity
