I think it would be good to do a different recipe in each barrel. A more sessionable porter would be a nice alternative I think. Derek and Steven mentioned recipes when we chatted.
If a second recipe is forthcoming  let's get a list going.

Proposed recipe for one of the barrels (or both whatever?)



I won gold for this in the nationals this year

List time. Let's assume 140L per barrel as they're not the same and it will allow for loses.

Looks like the Porter barrel is sorted. When are we looking at brewing?

[imark]

I'll need to get some wlp002. Can build up a big starter and split it if you want?

[delzep]

Think I need brown and chocolate malt and maybe hops anyway so will probably just get my own
