Okay okay calm down :cross: I'm planning on adding a wake-n-bake clone to it fairly soon. Haven't made any coffee additions yet and was looking for some advice with it. Experimenting with cold steeping right now, so that is an option. I do have an espresso maker which i regularly grind and make good espresso with. So one or both of these options and/or adding a couple of beans to the barrel when I transfer it over. This is a fresh whiskey barrel so aging will be fairly short, so the few coffee beans will only be in there a maximum of 3 months. It will prob be shorter too because of the high surface to volume ratio, making the oaking and oxidation fairly rapid. Might add vanilla beans and cocoa nibs too ... maybe ...
FYI The barrel comes from a local distillery that's just starting up and makes awesome whiskey. I work at a bar/liquor store and was able to get this at cost for $50 and plan on getting mutiple uses out of this. Progressing from dark to lighter beers and then eventually saisons to sours i guess
Thanks for any suggestions!
