Because of the volume of yeast and the amount of sugar I expect to end up with about 4.5 gallons of beer in the secondary fermentation which means I can use the 5 gallons carboy for secondary. |

The SHGA yeast continues to work as long as there is sugar, apparently.
Made the decision to bottle this in only 12 oz bottles.
One four ounce serving will be the equivalent in alcohol of a 12 oz American Lager. |

Had a tasting with Gabriel, Martin, and Mike Garcia.
I thought the Barleywine was coming along nicely. The oak aging is smoothing out the flavors very well, the alcohol burn has been minimized and the sweetness blended with the other flavors. Gabriel thought it was too sweet, Martin said it fucked him up, and Mike Garcia loves anything I make. |

had one 8 oz bottle of Old Mutton Chops left.
served to a few people in martini glasses (an idea for serving)
Many found different complex flavors in the beer, including apricot and green olives (function of the martini glass?), which is exactly what I wanted. Every body loved the tasting.
I cannot wait until September when we do the official unveiling of this masterpiece

We have been drinking this weekly for over a month . The beer has a distinct sherry flavor that is fascinating. Love using it for shots at ND scores. |
