Get that beer out of here…

So the first of the barrel beers was ready to come out of the barrel on saturday, so a 8 of us showed up with a rough idea of what we were going to do to get the beer out of the barrel and into bottles and carboy’s and home with it’s respective parties.  During the process of the barrel emptying we put the time lapse camera on the barrel’s.  Next time we will do the bottling session upstairs, where there were 6 of us working at the same time.  In the end we bottled 16 cases of beer and sent home 16 gallons in bulk vessels(4 gallons in a carboy with sour cherries), four gallons a keg, and 8 more gallons in two buckets for bottling by the one member of the barrel cabal who has moved on to the west coast.

The beer, a flanders red(back story thanks to mad fermentationist) has a lovely sourness, and tastes better than any commercial sour beer I have had in a while.  Just waiting for bubbles now…
