1.5 years. Man. I have a hard time waiting for Chrstmas to come so I can get into my Imperial Stout.

I want to make one though. A nice long term sour. And then more every year to 6 months so I can blend...

Haven't brewed in forever, but a group of us just pulled our cherry turbid mash lambic (kriek) out of a wine barrel after aging since Dec 2012. 100% sour ferment.

It was absolutely delicious, like a cherry Warhead candy. Can't wait for it to carbonate.

Hops are on their second year and the cascade looks like it's going to produce big time. Sterling is also doing well and Centennial fairly well. Northern Brewer are on their first year so not much expected there. I was planning on vacuum bagging and freezing as they're ready and then making an IPA at the end.

If you have friends who homebrew or you're in a homebrew club, barrel aging is interesting and a lot of fun. We've done a couple sours, imperial stouts, a barleywine, a quad, and some other beers I wasn't involved with. If you can each brew 10 gal, you only need a half dozen people.

Sadly not in a club. None near me that I can find. I only know one other person that brews, and hes 5 gallons. Not that it matters, I can do 5 gallons too.

Might have to talk him into a collaborative barrel aging thing though. That could be fun.

Got the Apricot Ale moved to secondary and brewed up a all grain Pale Mild
First time doing all grain and it went pretty damn good.

Moved the Sour Cherry Wheat over to secondary, and added 5 more pounds of cherries.  Yum!

Brewed another batch of Saison using yeast I harvested from the prior batch.  First time doing that, and all went well, fermentation took off within the hour.

Just bottle 5 gallons red ale. Will be starting an amber Ale next week or so.
Wine I got about 6 gallons Black Spanish grapes in secondary, about 6 gallons muscadines in secondary waiting to
get into an used 5 gallon whiskey barrel. Should do this week. Then I will start about a 4 gallon Black Spanish in the primary
and by then my pears should be getting ripe so then I hope to make 5 gallons of that. Need more carboys..

What flavors are you going for in a Belgian stout? I've had several different ones since I love stouts and Belgians. I can't seem to get a pin on what it's supposed to be, they seem all over the map. (Love Belgian IPAs though!)

I started a "Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit, Gewurztraminer" kit from Amazon this morning. I've done a few of their cabernets and liked them.

I have an old IPA kit that I need to brew. Oddly, going to India for 8 wks after I bought it kinda killed the desire to do that one for about 2 years. It's been kept at room temp, except for the yeast which was in the freezer.

I have an Imperial Chocolate Milk Stout in the secondary with another month to go.  I also have an Imperial IPA that is currently dry hopping, 1 more week to go on that one before I can keg it.
