It's not unusual in this industry, or any other.
I was thinking about my Russian Imperial Stout--the one I was going to bourbon barrel age.
But, this one would take up at least four 53 gallon bourbon barrels. That's fine. I'm game.
The problem lies in my ever-shrinking cooler space.
Sure, it's easy to tuck away a couple of 15 gallon bourbon barrels in the auxiliary cooler. Big barrels are an entirely different animal.
I'd rather not be at the mercy of wildly fluctuating summertime temperatures in our warehouse, and right now that seems to be my only storage option.
So, the Russian Imperial Stout will go on as soon as the Irish Dry Stout dries up. I'll figure out a new barrel aged beer when the weather cools off.
