Was recently gifted a new 10 gal oak barrel from a friend who quit the hobby. What beer should I age in it first? Before you say “Stout,” keep in mind this is not a used bourbon barrel. It is a brand new barrel.
And yes eventually I will put stout and porter in it, and after that it will be sours. But I was just wondering if there was a different style to start with before I go there.
