So I got this for Christmas. It’s an unused 20 L American White Oak barrel. I was wanting to use it for lambics, but it has been suggested that I age a few beers inside it first to extract some of the oak character from it so it doesn’t overpower the beer. I was curious as to what styles are best. I have an American Light Lager (4.9% ABV) lagering right now I thought about transferring in it for a few days and I also have a Belgian Tripel (8.5% ABV) fermenting also. Would any of these work? If not what would you use in my shoes?
