Whiskey Beer
|
|
My buddy picked up a used once Keg, that was used to make whiskey. He let the beer set in that for a month. Then in the keg it went. That is some good ****. He's made 2 batches with it and seems he can get more yet.
Anyone done this ?

When I worked in Cinci,the guys used to go down to the distillery & buy the used barrels for cheap. But that was back in the early 80's. Never used the barrels,but used bourbon soaked oak to get the effect.

If you search the forum, you will find that a lot pf people on here do the same thing.
I just bought a 5 gal barrel to try to duplicate an awesome barrel aged IIPA I had at my local brewery.

I just picked up an eight gallon barrel from Woodinville Whiskey and I threw a big barleywine in it last week. Plan on aging it in the barrel for a few weeks then bottling it and putting it away for a while. Working on a Russian Imperial Stout to go into the barrel next.

Yes, it's quite common, actually. You can oak anything, really. But most folks who do so usually do a Stout, a Barleywine, a RIIS, a DIPA. Big things like that. But have you ever tried any of Innis and Gunn? They're lighter body beers that are aged in barrels.
Here's mine.
There's quite a few threads on this.

I oak my cider. I rather use cubes since you don't have to oak as long. Barrels take a long time to get the same effect of cubes (based on surface area).

Oak chips work even faster. More surface area.

But a barrel is much cooler.
