Aging half pint with oak spirals

Post by Pacman0810 »

So I am planing on bringing some recently run 3rd gen UJ to my buddies 40th in a month. I am going out of the country for 2 weeks in the middle, but I want to age the 2 half pints with some oak spirals. One is 55 abv, of is 50 abv. I know a full stick for each would be over kill.

Anybody ever tried aging small amounts? My thought is to cut a few small pieces of a spiral and use but not sure the guidelines.

Put it in one jar and nuke it. Use the instructions that came with your spirals to work out how much to use.
