We are filling the Bourbon Barrel again. It has been almost a month since we removed the delicous barleywine from the barrel for the So Cal Homebrew Fest. Damn was it good. This time around the club is not buying the ingredients. I have decided on BYOB, brew your own beer method in filling the barrel. Everyone who participates will brew the same recipe, but will buy their own ingredients. I managed to get a discount on the ingredients from Steinfillers. We got a good deal. we have 8 people participating in the brew. The recipe is an IPA, so it should turn out really good.
On the brewing side, I have started to ramp up. I've been brewing for a party my roomates and I are hosting and we need beer. In the fermenters right now I have a roggenbier, and an American wheat. Lined up I have a pale ale, IPA, Weizenbock, and the Bourbon Barrel IPA (not for the party). So i'll be busy as a beer getting this ready. I am sorta cheating on the recipes by making some of them extract with grains intead my usualy all-grain. I figure, I can make twice as much beer doing extract than all-grain.
