Subject: barrels for brewing 
  
In my wholesale catalog from LD Carlson Co., they list American 
white oak barrels in 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 gallon sizes. 
They also list a chemical: Barolkleen - "For treatment of new 
barrels to remove excess tannin or cleaning of used barrels." 
  
Has anyone here any experience with American white oak or 
Barolkleen? 
  
I am a person who enjoys drinking lambics and related beers, but 
I don't plan to brew them. I thought that people here would 
appreciate hearing about another source of oak barrels. Most wine 
and beer shops deal with LD Carlson, so you may be able to get your 
local shop to order you a barrel. 
  
Last weekend I judged Belgian Ales and Lambics in a regional 
competition in Albuqurque, NM. Most of the fruit lambics were 
actually generic fruit ales with no lambic character at all. I've 
been asked to judge lambics at the first round of the nationals in 
Boulder, CO, this week end. I hope they are truer to style.

Subject: Hooegarden Recipe 

 
Thinking about making two five gallon batches of Belgian Wit Beer 
this weekend and was looking for recipe ideas. I've got both a 
Wit Beer yeast and a L. delbruckii culture going. I figure I'll 
use about 3 lbs MALTED wheat, 4 lbs Klages, 1 lb oats for the 
grain bill. Hops will probably by Mt. Hood (3.2%AA) whole hops. 
1 oz for 60 minutes and 1/2 oz. for 15 minutes. I have corriander 
for the primary as well as bitter orange (from The Frozen Wort). 
Anybody see anything wrong? Should spices go in secondary perhaps? 
Should I use unmalted wheat? I'm shooting for the Hooegarden I  
had in Belgium, not Celis White (just my preference). Let me know 
via private email.  

 
P.S. I also have a Flanders Sour Brown Culture, anyone have a 
Leifmans Goudenband recipe? Dark Belgian Candi Sugar in it? 

 
TIA
