I got a 5 gallon rye whiskey barrel for Christmas. I brewed an imperial type red ale about 9%. I had a few questions about getting the barrel ready to use.
I know some people say to fill with water. Should the water be hot or boiling?
Supposedly the whiskey was not dumped too long ago but not sure if I should include citric acid and KMeta in the water.
Should I put some rye whiskey back in the barrel for a few days before racking the beer.
The beer is done fermenting and can be transferred at any time.
