Got hold of a few Scotch whiskey, ex Bourbon barrels.
I now have lots of oak to play with.
My question is how much to use.
One member (triangle) uses between 60-90 cm2 per litre, which would appear to be at the other end of the scale used by other members who typically quote a weight rather than surface area (eg 10g/l)
Totally confused. :?
Anyone care to put me right? I'm oaking Macs rum and shortly afterwards some whiskey.
I've planed the outside nice and clean down to lovely fresh wood.
Should I char the entire stick or just the 'inside' as it was in the barrel?
Cheers.
