Bourbon Barrel Stout

We initiated this batch of brew on Sunday, January 6th, 2012, the date of yet another Bengal's first round playoff losses to the Houston Texans. (Boooooooo!) We got a new copper cooling coil (thanks to Mike!). Brian noticed some issues with the lack of bubbles coming out of the air lock, as in there were none. After some research, Brain bought a new hydrometer and measured the specific gravity. (Exact reading?) According to the reading,   the yeast most likely did its job and the lack of bubbles was most likely due to some sort of slow air leak on one of the seals. We did not pitch additional yeast. Mike and Brian transferred the batch from the primary fermenter (bucket) to the secondary fermenter (carboy). Thanks to Jen for picking up a new cork for the carboy. Bottling is tentatively scheduled for Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3rd.

Imperial Stout

Hey guys,

Some of y'all had mentioned the Big Moe Brewing Co. blog. Well, here it is. I'm guessing we just write what we drank, "Imperial Stout," how it tastes, and what we should do differently next time.

As for next time, I think we should delve into some recipes that allow us to mix in some of our own ingredients.

We might need to go here for these recipes and ingredients:

Big Moe Brewing Company... ASSEMBLE! I thought this might be a good way for all of us to communicate regarding the obviously necessary resurrection of the most beloved brewing company in central Ohio. So, first matter of business... is everyone cool with moving production facilities to 6607 McVey Blvd.? Comments? Questions? Please discuss.
