I'll probably end up building the thing, using it once and leaving it gather dust in the shed... 
by the way, that stainless paddle everyone loved is half price at the moment here

nice one, just ordered one of those paddles.

Just checked the gravity, and it is down to 1.050. Hopefully it will keep on going. The 1056 American ale yeast can go to 11%, but I would be happy enough if it gets down to 1.020.

taste?

Strong, sweet, thick, rich, roasty, hoppy!

By the way - cheers to John for dropping me home . And for generally trying to keep some sense to the whole effort.

All,

The publishing team are currently look at the best ways of documenting the NHC's fantastic "Barrel Project". We've decided to create and publish a series of articles on the project over the next 6 months or so.

The series will cover technical aspects of aging beer in barrels, purchase and delivery of the said items as well as a report from each individual club barrel at various stages of the process.

To achieve this aim, we will need a nominated representative from each barrel project who is willing to supply us with the necessary information like recipe, barrel siting, filling, tasting notes, competition success etc. Photos would be great too, if you have any. If you're interested in being your project's rep, can you attach your name to the thread below?

Yes, another big thanks to John. The first one there in the morning, and one of the last to leave at night, and also for picking up and dropping people off again. Also, for making sure that we stuck pretty much to the recipe and pretty much hit our targets.
