Hello,
I received for fathers day a 10 gallon whiskey barrel from a local distiller that was emptied of a peated malt whiskey just at the beginning of June.
I have just decided on the brew I want to age in it but probably will not be ready to fill it until the end of July.
Is there a technique to keep the barrel wet and still preserve the flavor of the whiskey that was in it before?
