Just got kicked off the mobile app, and found this old thread. Here’s an update. After aging my porter in the barrel, I put 10 gallons of whiskey into it. I aged it about 18 months, but did draw some off over that time. It did get better over time. I was able to notice the changes, and I don’t have a very sensitive palette. I got the last of the whiskey out and just filled the barrel with 10 gallons of maple syrup. We’ll see where things are in 18 months. Maybe a neutral distilled spirit next.
