You want it? You can't have it! No, no, you can't get it 'round here! I'm thinking about making some up. (Sometime in the far distant future.)
To do it right, I'm going to need a 55-gallon oak barrel, (preferably used) and a flash-pasteurizing unit. So. Does anyone know where to find such a barrel, and how much such a thing might cost? Does anyone have any ideas about building a flash pasteurizer from scratch? C'mon, guys we have engineers and scientists, garage tinkerers and welders.
To be honest, I haven't really started looking into any of this yet, the people on the BN forum pissed me off, so I thought I would try posting this here. Frankly I'm not really sure where to start looking. Seems we had a barrel discussion a while back. Pasteurization? I was always against it, but for this style, it's critical. (There's no way I'm going to be able to drink all of it fast enough.)
