Subject: Oak Barrels
Living in a wine producing country, barrels are easy to come by. I have
tried used "sherry" barrels and new French oak barrels. I prefer the
latter, although the beer takes longer to mature, as the wood flavours
stay harsh for some time. 6 weeks in new French oak, followed by a year
in glass gives a lovely vanilla flavour to a plambic. Ex "sherry"
barrels don't impart the same woody flavour.
