===Biere de Coupage Process===
"For Das Wunderkind, we'll blend in 2 oak barrels of beer (59 gallons each) per 30bbls (930 gallons) of finished/fresh beer. The mature barrel aged beer is typically 8-24 months old. We then dry hop, cold crash after 1 week of dry hopping, and package. This is kind of our routine for biere de coupage, though sometimes we'll blend a little more beer for the Dichotomous series. The first batch of Hibernal Dichotomous had 10 oak barrels of beer blended into 45bbls of fresh beer, then refermented with pureed watermelon. Vernal Dichotomous had only 2 oak barrels blended in to 30bbls of fresh beer this year which was refermented with kumquats afterwards. I would say on average, the barrel aged component of our biere de coupage beers is about 10-12% of the total volume. Often times the barrel aged beer doesn't present especially remarkable character on it's own, other than some acidity. Blending it with the fresh beer can liven it up a bit." <ref>Garrett Crowell in a private corrospondence with Andrew "Gus" Addkison; posted with permission from Crowell.</ref>
