I have an opportunity to buy used bourbon barrels from a brewery in Chicago this weekend. They have several 53 gallon bourbon barrels that were used to barrel age beer of some sort. They are being sold for $50.
I was wondering are these good to age wine in, or would they be used up, or not good to use after beer was in there?
I've never barrel aged before, so if anyone has and advice, or easy to follow guides please let me know. I've been making wine for the past few years, so I am pretty confident in that side of the process, and I can make enough to keep the barrel topped off.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks:
Jon
