Notes

6th beer going into a wheated bourbon barrel from west fork distillery, adding ~6.5 gallons fresh wort to the barrel (leaving trub / yeast + ~7 gallons of previous beer as a "starter / solera"). Low bitter, big funk, complex acidity, age + ferment 1 year in barrel.

Pulling 6.5 gals to finish on oleosaccarum
