Hi guys,
I am interested in making mead now and I had a quick question. I have been reading around a few of the different mead forums and it seems like some folks are aging their mead in oak wine or oak bourbon barrels. Has anyone here tried that and if so, to what effect? I can see how the char may help to mellow some flavors or the oak resins may add some, but I'm wondering if it's really worth the added expense and/ or effort.
thanks
