Hello! New here. Brewery in planning. Doing some business planning.
question re: getting a second use out of a 15-gallon barrel. Using the first for shorter-term (18-24 months) then re-using the same barrel for a longer-aging or for a more tightly cut whiskey also in the 24 month range.
For first use, I'm planning on 120 proof. On second use, thinking of upping the proof.
Curious your recommendations. I'd love to get at least 2 uses out of a barrel.
If there is a thread already discussing this I couldn't find it.
