Never thought I'd see/hear these words coming from me...
I just ordered 2 oak barrels from a distillery in New York.
One of them housed bourbon for 4 years the other was a double-use barrel that aged rye whiskey in it first and apple brandy in it second.
I'm thinking barleywine or old ale will go into the bourbon barrel and a stout or strong ale into the apple brandy barrel.
how much did it cost ofc and what size
10 gallons
so im gonna have to keep a close eye on them to make sure they dont over-oak since they will have some serious surface area contact
they were $91 a piece and i actually up'd my order to 2 bourbon and 1 brandy
