Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that complicated, especially when you have a Show and Tell Ideas list. Especially when it comes to show and tell ideas for each letter of the alphabet. The barrel had dropped and cracked so would no longer seal.Show and tell ideas can seem hard to come by. Note the wood for both the head of the faux Badmo an the sticks was from the same once used 5 gal barrel I got from a local distillery. Seems like a good reason to do more testing. I guess this makes sense since the wood surface to liquid ratio on a Badmo is less than the ratio on the fingers I put in a jar.Īs I said, I have six barrels and of those 4 have the same product in glass as well. So from my very limited testing product in a Badmo will need significantly more time than jar aged product. It also had more of the white dog character, the corn flavor, and less of the vanilla or wood. The product from the barrel was lighter in color. The jar product was darker and had more flavors from the wood, vanilla mostly, very drinkable. From the 2022 barrels I tried a bourbon at about 14 months age and there was a major difference between the jar and the barrel. In each case I had extra which I put in 1/2 gallon jars with fingers. I filled three barrels in early 2022 and three more in early 2023. Using faux Badmos which I made, I am finding that spirits mature more slowly. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk Then our observations and methodologies seem about the same. I don't have any solid info on loss myself because a) I have stopped being diligent about weighing and recording, b) I have been diligent about sampling but not recording how much I sample, and c) I just kind of trust that things are mostly working out pretty well. I think I could do better if I had a jointer and a band saw, but I can't afford those right now. I think I am getting better at making these things more "tight", but I can't say for sure. It may be the case that your barrel does a little dance when the temperature changes, and then settles down again. ![]() The ones which had never seeped still didn't. When the power and heat returned, the barrels which had previously seeped made a large mess upon returning to their usual 70F. An interesting thing happened recently: we had a six-day blackout and the downstairs closet got down to like 45F. There are also drips occasionally but like you I almost never catch it in the act. The seeping stuff carries wood sugars out, and they dry on the face of the barrel. More than half of my barrels have some seepage. I wish I had a way to tell how much of the loss this accounts for. I never actually catch it dripping, but every once in a while I see a small white streak down the front of the cabinet that I keep the barrel resting on. The sugar shine bite was starting to fad last time I stole a sample and that was about 2 weeks ago.Īlthough I will say, that the barrel seemed to have developed an intermittent drip. Which isn't much, I've put about a 1/4" in the bottom of a shot glass only a few times to see how things are progressing and they are doing so nicely. Minus the fee little tasting I've had of course. So the plan is to let it age for an entire year and then I will report the loss over that 12 month period. Reason being, I do not own a scale to acurrately weigh the loss monthly.
