Hi,
I just received a new oak barrel (5 litters).
First I need to cure the barrel. (Maybe with alcohol?,, to disinfect the barrel).
Second I would like to age red wine to be able to add this flavour in a saison...
How to start???
Do I open some red wine bottle and let this age for a month? And
after I put the saison for x amount of time.
Question is what I should do, I'm scared of infection...and do I put the saison after the primary or secondary?
Tell me your experience because I don't really find the right answer on the net.
Thanks
