Sounds tasty

Seems like you are heavy on the flaked barley. Any reason?

A stout everyone can enjoy.

I added oak chips 1/2 raw and 1/2 kilned to medium to secondary with vanilla beans tinctured in bourbon a week ago. Tasted today 5/16/10: Hints of vanilla and oak (almost there). Needs a little more time. I'll check on the 19th.

Flaked Barley

I used more flaked barley for mouth feel... An Irish friend of the family had told me to add more for more of a velvety feel since I don't have nitrogen. Seems to work.
