Hi Brewers and Brewsters -<br><br>One of the brewers for the upcoming New Belgium Brewing barrel project had to drop out due to sudden family issues. We are looking for a replacement.<br><br>This project will be based on <a href="http://www.hopsandberries.com/recipe.php?id=98">Jonas Porter</a>. We have access to a fairly young barrel that may contribute some oak flavor. The barrel currently has La Folie in it. We will leave the porter in the barrel for six months, which should give it a bit of acidity while still retaining porter character. <br><div>

Hello barrel project brewers -<br><br>In order to give everyone plenty of time to plan their brew day, let's pick Jonas Porter as our target recipe for the next NBB barrel project. We will use a different barrel from our previous projects; the selected barrel is younger (two previous uses) and may contribute some oak and blackberry-bourbon flavors. The barrel is currently full of La Folie. <br>
<br>We will age the beer for about six months in the barrel. We hope to retain most of the porter character, while adding a significant wild note. I think this beer will be amazing!<br><br>Plan to brew five gallons of Jonas Porter (<a href="http://www.hopsandberries.com/recipe.php?id=98" target="_blank">http://www.hopsandberries.com/recipe.php?id=98</a>) between now and mid-January.
If you want to make an extract approximation of the recipe that is fine; Hops and Berries can suggest appropriate substitutions. The barrel has plenty of "bugs", so ferment with a standard porter yeast. <br><br>
Please respond to me or post to the<a href="http://liquidpoets.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&p=26749#26749" target="_blank"> Liquid Poets discussion board</a> when you have brewed. <br><br>
Thanks to Lauren and Eric Salizar for offering this opportunity! The Liquid Poets greatly appreciate your time and effort.<br><br><a href="http://www.hopsandberries.com/recipe.php?id=98" target="_blank"></a><div>Ted Manahan<br>
