Whiskey Barrel time

Gnate's Barrel Aged Gnarleywine going into a bucket to get re-yeasted if needed.  Turns out it was ready, and went into the bottling bucket instead, 4 gallons at a time to mix with molasses for flavor and sugar for carbonation.  It smelled wonderful and the gravity reading sample tasted great.  This beer is going to be awesome.  We got about 45 bottles (22s) so this should last us quite awhile.  Hoping to drink a little here and there and try aging it over the next couple years.

We also put half of the 10 gallons of stout into the barrel, so in a week we will bottle 5 gallons of Winter Ale (white russian stout) and 5 gallons of Barrel Aged Winter Ale.  So excited.
