Hi
I have had the privileged to acquire a newly taped whiskey barrel from a domestic distillery (about 7 gallons, Bourbon) that I thought to condition a HomeBrew in.
The plan is an American IPA, a lot of american flavor/armoma hops and relatively high abv (7-8.5%). Ferment and then condition in the barrel for about 4 weeks.
What I wonder if there is anyone that has done this before and has any thoughts and/or do/don't.
Regards
Stefan
