ODB: A Scotch Ale Production

I am planning on filling my Bourbon Barrel with a Wee Heavy aka a Scotch Ale. This will be loosely based off of Founder's Dirty Bastard and more so in hope of approaching the style of their barrel aged version (Backwoods Bastard). The recipe is posted below. For now please reply if you are interested in brewing a batch for this. I will needed between 11-12 5  gallon batches. I will buy the specialty grains and hops. You will be responsible for yeast and base grains. Once I have enough people signed up I will order everything and set dates for brewing and filling. Let's get this Ol' Dirty Bastard filled!

you could also ask for payment beforehand to place the order.  I'm sure plenty of people would be willing to go ahead and pay.

Thats a good point. If you

Thats a good point. If you would be willing to let me buy the amount of chocolate needed that could help. I will recalculate the hops and grains minus the caramel and chocolate and see if I can do it.

You could wait for the bulk buy to come in. I have some chocolate that I have coming in. I think we both have portions of C80 coming too.

Sorry I have been dragging my

Sorry I have been dragging my feet on this. 1 reason is the high cost of ordering all the specialty grains and hops for this one is going to be quite expensive to front off the bat until everyone pays me back. I didn't realize the total would be so much and I am short on funds for this at the moment so I was considering having everyone get their own stuff. We also still need 3 more brewers. Thoughts?

I won't do that but I'd be

I won't do that but I'd be willing to buy the remainder of the sack after it's been split out to everyone...  So, if it takes a total of 36 lbs of munich, that would leave me with 19 that I would pay for.  It's up to you.  Let me know.

No I didn't. I was gonna make

No I didn't. I was gonna make everyone supply their own munich and all the others are only gonna be like 12lbs at the most. If someone else wants to get a sack of munich and sell 3lbs each to everyone brewing this that would be cool.

Also we lowered the hops by

Also we lowered the hops by an ounce.....2oz each for the 15 and 5 min additions.  This was because the hop ibu didnt change much and aroma portion of hops wouldnt last long during the aging portion.
