Send me one...
Get 4 of your bes biddies together and each make 10g of RIS.
Ferment, check for nastyness... add to barrel.
Wait....
when you want your 5 gal brew up a batch and ferment out.... take out 5g from the barrel and add your new batch to top it off.
Send me a 6 pack.

I was thinking the same thing. Great idea Bub!! We had a homebrew club let us try a beer that is aged the same way and it was GREAT!

I think I can make it happen. A nashville brew club is having a Belgian Wit group brewday coming up. We only need to scrounge up 124 gallons. Jack Daniels chars the insides of the aging barrels with coals (it's what gives JD it's color). I wonder what that would do to beer?

Too bad you can't just pull off the lid and take a look see inside.

Justin, how about we get Matt Brynildson from Firestone Walker back to have a show about wood aged beer (bjcp category 22C)? I think he's got the most experience with his success of his double barrel ale. He could answer questions like treating wood chips or barrels and what types of beer goes well with barrel conditioning, etc...

Of course, that's what we'll tell Matt. When he shows up, it's time for the drunk show part 2.
