bourbon barrel maple

[markct]

well heres what i did, heated it warm like 120 to flow and help release some of the flavors. let it sit refridgerated for a couple months then reheated and bottled. no reason to heat to botttling temps to put in a wood barrel that isnt airtight anyhow. but does need to be refridgerated to prevent mold or spoilage

Thank you for sharing your process

I have a question. From what I've seen of some of the new regulations at least here in Pa. it says no finished product shall come in contact with wood. There was a story in the Maple News about a federal inspection where wood handle scoops were not permitted. If this is the case how can you put syrup in a wooden barrel and then sell it. Just wondered.

Not being sold as pure maple syrup

So what you are saying its ok for some foods to be in contact with wood just not pure maple syrup.

That would be correct...
