I've seen some information about this, but it's somewhat sparse and I don't see anything specific about what I'm wondering about, which is timing. Namely, when should I age in a barrel, and for how long?
I first thought I was looking at treating a 5 gal oak barrel like a carboy for secondary fermentation. Then I saw posts suggesting only to age in the barrel for a few days. Thoughts?
I'm definitely looking to start with a heavy beer. I'm seriously wanting to try a Samichlaus clone. I'm just not looking forward to waiting that long to drink it!!!
