Oud Bruin - 14 April

[Dodge]

After letting all the beer settle next to the barrel, today it was filled with epicness!

1st is barrel being emptied and rinsed out. The barrel smelt sweet with a hint of whiskey oak ness.

I also took samples of all entries and gravity readings. I'll post up after.

[Dodge]

Now we still have 2 more entries but I think we will need one more to fill. I can do another batch next week since the barrel is here but if any one wanted to add that's fine.

[Dodge]

Tomorrow all containers will be cleaned and sanitized.

Delivery will follow shortly courtesy of Dodge NHC Express 

Eoin- would you like your yeast rinsed and bottled?

[Eoin]

That'd be really cool Roger.

Just transferred the last in and we have an FG Check of 1.016. Bang on.

I did have a list of everyone's FG checked again prior to going in that I was going to post but I can't find it.

Update:

We are 2x 20L batches shy of a full barrel - anyone want to add or join up?

I have another 20L batch there if we're stuck.. It's fermented about a week

Thanks Garrett. I don't think its a necessity to have the barrel full to the brim but in my opinion it would be better.

if people want to up their contributions then fine otherwise we will just leave it as is.

Just tasted my second batch.. It's heinous.. Rubber flavour.. Possibly autolysis

Or infection, autolysis tends to be kinda like bovril or marmite.

I've 30 liters of plop.. I'll leave it and see if anything changes in six months.. I think it's drain bound

Throw it out to fuck, it won't improve from rubber....
