Lots of discussion and tips on how and why brewing high-gravity beers are different. Interesting discussion on their barrel blending approach.
Loved this course. Cory was down-to-earth and generous with his explanations. I thought the information was thorough and he answered all my questions.
Chuck full of info that you might want to know about when doing really high gravity stouts and overall insight into how you want to approach barrels when doing these beers. Its the nuance that will take your barrel project from good, to superb and this course helps dive into some of the tricks to get there.
