August 2014 (Notes from Marc Wethington:)
The first Barrel project was a Wee Heavy. Everyone brewed the same recipe and fermented it at their home. When
the barrel was filled someone had an infected batch. It wasn’t noticed. When they emptied the barrel, it was
detected, and some
people didn’t take their share back. Mike Hermann took his and another keg (maybe 2?) and just sat on it for a long
time. At some point I went over to Mike’s house for a visit, and we pulled a sample. It was fantastic. Like an Old
Bruin (23C).
