First Time in Wooden Kegs

Transferring From the Primary to the Wooden Barrel

Over the next few weeks the Milky Moose Musk will gather the flavors from the oak barrel and add them to the overall flavor profile.  This will be interesting to determine if wood kegging the stout was the way to go.  Speaking of stouts ... today I will be brewing my first Oatmeal Stout called Rocky Point Oatmeal Stout.
