Firstly Merry Christmas one and all.
Secondly, I've inherited a Weller whiskey barrel that has just come from the distillery and hasn't been used for anything else. I would love to make a barrel aged stout but my question is does the barrel need to be filled with stout or can I fill it one quarter or half way and get the same success?
A whiskey barrel holds about 53 gallons. I was thinking dumping 20 gallons in.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
