Well, I think with 60 gallons in the fermentor, that was a successful event!
I've put up a bunch of pics on our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 241&type=1
I'm not sure if you need a FB account to view them. There are also several in the Feb newsletter.
Thanks to everyone that made the event a success. Especially Don, who worked his butt off getting it all together! Thanks Don!
Now we just need a status report. I hope it's bubbling!

I've been wondering how our big baby is doing. Homebrewing.com just put out a cool relevant article on wooden barrel conditioning:

It's been three weeks. Has anyone checked on our baby?

When is the barrel due in.

The final gravity of our Barrel Project Old Ale is 1.012
This should give us 8% ABV.

My trailer is full of old house parts from our kitchen remodel. I can try to get to the dump on Friday to clean it out. I am planning on going to Bloomington Saturday so I won't be around. I should have some time next week if I can get a hand with it. Where do we store it when finished?
