  1. Sitting at the hospital as I type this....Its a Boy! Second child, first was a girl. Everything is great over here. Thanks for all the advice guys I really appreciate it. Ill probably start on this next week. My basement is 62-64 degrees during summer, 58-60 during winter. Garage is probably sitting 70 right now on a hot day. Based on those temps what is your opinion on where I should store it? Attic I think would probably be too hot.
  2. Thanks for the input. I did consider that actually. I tend to enjoy bourbons with some kick and a decent ABV. Would love to stay in the 50-55% range. My basement is quite cool and slightly humid (not too bad). Can I expect a decrease in ABV in those conditions? Or more water? I definitely think ill dilute a bit and get as much volume in barrel as possible. But I'm happy to hear I can fill up barrel with what I have.
  3. Hello everyone, what an awesome place for beginners and hobbyists to ask questions. I recently got into the hobby and have been pumping out about a gallon a week of 60-65% white dog. Im up to about 8 Gallons at the moment. I have a 15 Gallon Charred barrel that I Purchased a couple weeks ago and Im eager to fill it up and get this whiskey aging. Im at the point where my wife and I are expecting any day now and I just won't have the time to produce another 7 gallons. My question, Is it ok to fill my 15 Gallon Barrel with only 8 gallons of whiskey? Will it age properly? Can I expect leaks? I know to saturate the barrel prior to dumping the whiskey in. Any advice or comments would be well appreciated.
