My friend wants me to make him a "bourbon barrel aged" stout (5 gal.) I already have plenty of oak chips.
I have never made a barrel aged anything, so I am looking for advice, particularly amounts of ingredients and when to add them.
We are going to have a stout tasting soon, just go into the store and grab any stouts we see, barrel aged or not (the barrel aged anything beers seem a little sparse.) I'm going to have him take notes on what he likes and doesnt like.
He has already said that he doesn't mind A LOT of bourbon flavor, and while I want to get close to what he wants, he also likes stouts in general, and I don't want to end up with something that just tastes like a stout with 2 shots of bourbon in it.
Advice please?
Cheers!
