Leisips Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Looking to understand if there is a minimum time in barrel for spirit classes Light Whiskey or Whiskey distilled Bourbon Mash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatch Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Perhaps you missed my last response. There is no minimum. However, if you age your spirits for one second, you must say one second on your label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leisips Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks Thatch! Would this include time using wood staves for accelerated maturation or just for the time rested in a barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffy2k Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just the time in a barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe to comply with the regulations you will have to say something like: Colored and flavored with wood staves Stored not less than (amount of time you aged in the barrel) in reused cooperage. (barrels, oak barrels, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamOVD Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 This is amazing. Had to make sure it was real. Looks like a far superior grain bill than actual pbr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer would not use that much corn. Must not be aged in charred oak, even for 5 seconds, or it would have been classified as bourbon. LOL. Probably used cooperage.

adamOVD Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Maybe corn syrup as Budweiser would have us outraged about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud was always rice beer. The idea for rice or corn is to add something that will provide dextrose to augment the barley malt (since the maltose and malto-n-sugars break down to dextrose). Corn is added as syrup, so you don't get a stuck mash (Miller & Coors), rice is added as hulled grain so that it will lauter (Budweiser). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed that a company using rice in their beer would poke fun and another using corn syrup. Our distillery in located within a malt house and we sell malt to many microbrewers. You can make great beer or hooch without any adjuncts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud has had rice in it for at least 40 years. I know because it has always given me a headache. Every beer and wine that I have drank with rice in it, has given me a headache. I'm not exactly sure why. It's okay though, because I always thought the taste of budweiser sucked anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
