I've recently came into a great find of endless bourbon barrels for 50 bucks a piece, most are wheat but others are rye and all corn whiskeys.
I want to age a traditional for sure but are there any other flavors that match well with bourbon?
I'll look for some answers but I'd love to hear some of the stories from those who HAVE directly used barrels for aging, yeast used for the mead etc . etc.
I have a 5.5gal mead going and just about finished (.020) I was about to toss in some fruits here shortly but now with these barrels I have other options.
The fruits are frozen so that's good, and now my brain is really wanting to toss the mead in the barrel.
I've had some in the same barrels I have and it's freaking awesome. Really really awesome.
These folks are selling their bottles of this for 75 bucks and 90 for the ones with the extra vanilla beans added. It's just a traditional too!
