How much you expect to loose ageing in barrels
I recently went to decant my barrel and found my 4.5lt had turned into 2.5. I know I have had a few sips but didn't expect that much. I then checked my other barrel and pretty sure it had 6-7lt (the only barrel I didn't record total of) and it's down to 4lt. I did find it had a tiny weep at back I wasn't aware of but still seems pretty excessive. Father in law just topped up his said it took 600ml and it's only been 3 months. Am I missing something or this this normal?
