NCB Barrel Project 3

[Partridge9]

Thats how the recipe appears to me on my system - that look ok ??
I would expect my efficiency to be much lower with my mash tun bulging.

What is a barrel project, for a noob?

Clubs buy an old whiskey (or wine, brandy etc) barrel, a recipe is agreed upon and then everyone involved brews a batch of beer and adds it to the barrel. A couple of months later the barrel is emptied and each individual gets to take home their share. Simples.

That is the coolest thing I have heard in a while. So...its a blend ? Or everyone helps with a single large brew ? Would love to help with the next!

Its a blend. Our last one we all met up and had a bbq and a sample of each. For quality control purposes 
Its a great project. There are a few barrel projects around the country at different stages. We plan to empty and refill our one next month is one day.

Barleywine out and Belgian Quad in. YUMYUM

As others have answered the question I will just say welcome to the NHC and the NCB!

Where abouts are you based? With luck you are close to a regional group that meets up once a month to "Tast 'n Talk"

I finally remembered to post to the introductions forum :-)   I'm in Sutton, and have all sorts of crazy plans over the next while. If people need fresh barrels, I know a guy in Poland who does really nice oak ones. I have two ten litre ones he made me eight years back, still going strong.
