A demonstration and seminar on barrels, aging, wood, adjuncts, and alternatives, to better understand how wood is used as an ingredient. We will discuss the various formats, species, toast and char levels that are available and explain how each compares vs contrasts. Attendees will leave with a better understanding on how wood aging affects their beers and which formats may be most beneficial and economical to them.
