Good to know, I'll just get the 5 gallon kit. One more thing, I was talking to a wisky rep at my liquor store, and he told me whisky stops aging when you take it out of the barrell. With wine, does it have to stay in the secondary to age, or can the flavors develop more in the bottle? How...

So we are at a crossroad. I don't want to shed out more money for a bigger kit. Its my first wine brew so Ide rather stay small. Hmmmm

So I am brewing a russian imperial stout. I added wood chips soaked in whiskey. I want to now add hazelnut coffee beans. How would I go about adding them (crush them up, turn them to liquid?) Thanks!

Was also thinking about going with hazelnut coffee beans in the secondary with the cocoa and the double back whiskey. Still good?

Hey, Just picked up a kit to brew this. Thinking of adding some wood chips soaked in J W double black whiskey, and a tiny bit of chocolate as well into the secondary after about a month in the primary. Thoughts? Thanks!
