Hi All,
New red wine barrel arriving next tuesday.
Was looking for a bit of help filling the thing.

So was thinking with the warm temps and all it would make sense to go for a saison again, but to up the mouthfeel on this one by adding oats and rye.

So lets say the recipe goes a bit like as follows:

Mash 70 mins at 67C
Boil 90 mins

Abv - 5.5
Pilsner - 70%
Wheat - 15%
Pale Rye - 7.5%
Flaked Oats - 7.5%

Ibus - 5.  some old low AA hops would be ideal

Water:

HCO3 - 20
Cl - 210
SO4 - 70

There's 225 litres to fill,

I will fill 85L, these 85L will be soured

So that leaves 140L to fill with clean Saison, use whatever liquid Saison yeast ye like, a mix will be good.

Put you name here and how much you would like to add to the barrel:









Thanks,
Fionn

Hey Fionn when should we have this ready by?

So how are we fixed?

is this friday a possibility?

Or could ye all get the stuff to Asti before friday?

How is everyone for quantities, what do ye all reckon you have if ye leave behind the trub?

Paul and Adrian are away, maybe the following weekend, during or after the comp perhaps?

Next weekend suits me better than this one. I'll have a full corny so 19 litres

I'm well behind on this one lads. Probably won't be able to have it ready until the middle of next month.
If that's well off the mark I'll pull out.  :( I had a cross country move and now I'm about to move apartment again so all my fermentors are packed away.

Sorry if this messes anything up. if someone else wants to jum in on my spot thats fine.

Cheers. Seán.

No worries Séan, but we'll have to go ahead without your Saison, it's no problem, I would normally put in 40 litres of fresh to feed to bugs and only allowed 20 this time so it's grand, I can can make the extra 20 unless someone else wants to do it?

I've a full corny ready too.

Hey guys,

So it's been nearly a year, was thinking that it would be time to figure out a barrel empty date that would suit everyone, perhaps Monday week?

Fionn

Works for me

Will there be a refill?

Hey Fionn. So the 17th July?

Hey,
Yea the 17th, that ok?

Suits me

Works for me.

What's it like compared to the last sour saison?

better  :)

Is this still happening tomorrow? What time would would suit you Fionn?

Ok, got word from Fionn. We're emptying the barrel between 6pm and 7pm this evening.

Don't suppose anyone on the south side would be able to take mine with them? Am way down in Tallaght these days so Russel St. is a bit of a trek mid week!

Tricky to make it before 7. I'll try.
