Upper hand on my kegs
I finally got a way thats working pretty well for me now on my kegged liquor. If I drinked some down and added more the taste changed unless you let it sit quite awhile. So back in December I bought 4 large mouth gallon size glass jars, took white oak wood using 6 pieces about 5/8-3/4" thick X about 1 1/4- 1 1/2" wide and about 6 inches long, charred these pieces until just a little white ash started to appear and then quenched in water to put out the burning. Used 6 pieces to each jar and poured them full of liquor and let set atleast 6 weeks or longer and then filtered and put back in the keg and let it sit about a week. The taste now pretty much remains the same. The taste to me is not the same in drinking liquor thats been aged on wood in a jar like whats been aged in the keg but I'm well satisfied now with the way I doing it. I have two kegs so I can drink on one while the other one rests awhile. I'm buying me more and bigger kegs this summer.
Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey!!!
