Life of a Barrel

Post by BlueSasquatch »

Curious what everyone does with their barrels? I've just got a lone 5 liter at the moment, and then wood chips/pieces that I add here and there to things.

First use - Bourbon, 2nd use - Scotch or Whiskey, 3rd use? How many times until the barrel is tapped? Adding beer like a stout to a used barrel seems common enough, but what about after the 3rd or 4th use? When is a barrel spent, and what does everyone do with theirs once they are spent?
