3rd Barleywine Batch from 25gal barrel

[Michael James]

Our 3rd barleywine batch is probably ready to be kegged.  It has been in the keg for ~8 months now.

• Does anyone want to propose brewing another batch for the keg and generate another 25 gallons?  I think several of us are ready to be done with this keg and we could only fill 2/3rds of it the last time.
• If we are not going to refill the keg then we could empty it soon.  The next few weekends are fine with me: Aug 30 or Sept 6?
• Does anyone else have a use for the barrel?  If not, I will take it apart and turn it into a woodworking project.

I don't entirely recall who contributed to the 3rd batch and some of it goes back to the 2nd batch as well. 

• Ben, Tom, Charles, George, Michael contributed to the 3rd batch based on old notes
• additionally, Brandon and Lorrey had contributed some to the 2nd batch

Hi Michael,

If nobody else has a use for the barrel, I would be happy to take it off your hands and turn it into a barrel for souring beers/solera project.

Also, thanks for trying to organize a date for emptying the barrel. I have availability September the 6th, but I can also come by most any other weekend next month too.

Cheers,

Charles

I'm fine with donating the barrel to Charles, for whatever that's worth.

I'm glad the barrel has a home. 

Are people available next week Saturday to pull out the beer? Sept 6, 11ish?

I did not add any beer but can probably help empty the barrel.

I'm away next weekend, back Sunday by noon. I can drop off a keg this week.

Let's go ahead and transfer the beer on Saturday at 11:00.

There is more beer available than is needed for the last round of brewing, so if anyone else wants some, bring along a keg and join us. We only filled 2/3rds of the barrel last round. 

Tom, I am around most of the week, if you want to drop off a keg. 

George, you are welcome to drop off a keg as well if Saturday doesn't work. 

Thanks 

Michael
