ckreef Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Maybe a stupid question but do you reuse the barrel? You can. 3 - 6 times depending on how long each ageing session is. The longer the sessions the fewer the times. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Devil's Lemonade I harvested today from my oak aging barrel. This was aged 3 1/2 weeks. Nice color. Remember it started as a clear liquor. I lost about 3/4's of a fifth but then again I did a lot of drinking (oops - I mean tasting along the way.

Second batch going. I did tweak the recipe a bit so we shall see. You can never let the barrel dry out or the wood will shrink and then leak next time you fill it.

ckreef Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 @tony b - I had at least weekly tasting sessions (sessions not one taste - LOL) along the way so there would be no way for me to guesstimate that. The tasting sessions was half the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
