A few months back i got a 5L port barrel,
I initially did a barley wine and left that in the barrel about 7 months, i also left a bit of port in the barrel. To much port flavour is coming through.
Kegged it up about 3 weeks ago, not really enjoying it atm.. hopefully the port mellows, but will see.
On Wed i refilled the barrel with a coconut porter, making sure all the port was out of the barrel.
Now i have tried to find some info regarding optimum ageing time.
For a barrel of my size, ive read that most of the ageing would probably be achieved in 5-6 weeks..
Anyone else done small batch barrel ageing?
