    I'll welcome help doing it those chunks of oak weigh a lot.

    Also those shavings are from several other massive oaks logs too. Its not all from yesterdays cutting.

    I've got a local wine liquor store that sells it. Usually around 3.75 a bottle. Well worth it!

    The glass was around $7,Hy Vee normally has at least 2-3 of the 6 varieties of Ayinger on their shelf most of the time.Between $3-4 a 16.9 oz (half litre) bottle last I remember.
    I have all 6 empty bottles lined up on one end of mantle,if I wasn't so lazy tonight I'd go snap a photo lol.....

    But I'll think of it one of these days.Might be some other stuff in the photo,I wont move everything round just for a ''perfect'' pic,since I'm not sellin' nothin' :D

    I've been picking up bottles of Ayinger Wizenbock lately. I think it is becoming my new favorite.

    I am tending to agree with you, it just seems like more work bending/ squatting down noodling, then just busting them open with a couple of wedges, but then there are some gnarly pieces that need to be sawed up

    This seems to be true of most German hefes. I've taken to domestics since they're fresh. There are some pretty good ones.
