Getting back into home brewing after a loooong hiatus. Enjoy the channel and work you’re doing. Cheers!

Brewing heavily peated roasted barrelaged imp stouts to my own taste has been the biggest benefit of homebrewing too me. Some things you (still) just have to make yourself if you want it. And that's good.

Figuring out recipes that you love is the best part of homebrewing! You always have your favorite beers on tap and it's awesome. Peated Imperial Stouts, eh?! That sounds really interesting!

Damn! One hell of a project my friend. Good work! Little strong for my taste, but I'd still give it a try. Cheers!

What an amazing project, very envious of getting barrels. Keep it up, love your videos. God I'd like a bottle of the PB&C stout 😊

This is awesome! I’ve been playing with wood on my spirits, meads and wines. I have yet to brew my first beer.

Did you lose any volume from adding the coconut flakes? Or do you have a specific process to extract more beer from the flakes?

Oh yeah, it definitely absorbs a bit. It's not as bad as some other adjuncts, but it certainly absorbed maybe .25 gallons out of this 2.5 gal split batch. It's so worth it though, I'd rather have 2.25 gal of amazing liquid than 2.5 gal of ok liquid. I did toast the coconut in the oven, half it for about 15-20 min, half of it only about 6 min.

Did you bottle condition or carb in the keg and bottle?
@secretlevel5951 Жыл бұрын
Definitely carb in keg. Most of the yeast have died by the end of its stint in barrel, so it's easier to just keg and bottle :)

What yeast did you pitch in this monster??

@andrewbarker1190 @mikelawler9678 totally forgot to mention! We pitched about 11 packets of US-05 into this, plus a 2L starter from what I remember. It's definitely my go-to yeast for these beers so far. S-04 is just as good (probably faster!) I'm just not a fan of its flavor profile.

@@secretlevel5951 agreed about S-04’s flavour being a tad iffy. Do consider San Diego super yeast wlp090.
