Hi all,
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm looking at options for wine/whiskey barrel aging in terms of homebrew. I'm assuming most barrels (wine, whiskey, rum, etc.) are fairly large, and I've heard of soaking wood chips in wine or alcohol for a period of time and then aging beer on the chips for a period of time to mimic a barrel aged flavor.
Is there a list somewhere or can someone advise as to a good way to approach this from a homebrew perspective given that I don't have room for large barrels?
