My last batch of apfelwein actually tasted somewhat whiskey like (aside from the apple character). So I was thinking, got an idea from a distillery website to saw and roast some oak myself to age the apfelwein with. They say it is better than the store bought stuff and I have a bunch of oak logs around. Some of the people on the site said to torch one side, but after careful reading the best way is to roast the oak for 3 hours at 400 deg in the oven covered in aluminum foil, or else you'll get more of a campfire smoke taste doing it the other way. I'm not sure if anyone else has tried this with an apfelwein... Hopefully it comes out good.
Hope this doesn't seem blasphemous
