Bourbon barrel aged syrup
I'm going to try some bourbon barrel aged syrup. I got 2@5gal and 1@10gal once used bourbon barrels. For any of you who have done this, what is your proceedure? prep, packing temp? other things to do?
I was told to put some hot water in the barrels to swell the oak to help minimize leaks, then pack at 190. Then rotate the barrels every week or 2.
Any info appreciated.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
