the recently barreled california common will only be in the barrel for 2 months. i would like to replenish the barrel immediately after filling as to not have to cleanse it and strip out any more oak characteristics.
this barrel will be replenished with a higher gravity saison, and will be stored for 6 months. i am looking to have a group brew of 55 gallons to fill this. it is a straightforward recipe, that will have to be brewed by april 15th, to be barreled april 22nd, when the california common will be emptied.
the details of ther recipe are here.
please let me know if you are interested.
im also taking name considerations...
Adam York offered to do the remaining 5 gallon match. Thanks, Adam!

I'll do 5 gallons.
Also, I'd suggest having the brew deadline for this be quite a bit earlier to get fermentation done, especially if you're using 565. It ferments super slow unless you ferment at high temps. As I wrote in the other thread, consider giving explicit fermentation temperature schedule directives. You'll have a slew of different beers if you don't. From what I understand, those ferm temps will affect taste more than ingredients.
ya got it.
