@midwestbarrelco: Class is in session for Barrel Tip Tuesday! 📚 🎓 Today's topic is a big one: how barrel-aging actually works. In a nutshell, when you fill a barrel with your beer and let it rest, the oak compounds slowly interact with the content as the liquid is absorbed into the staves and then released. At the same time, the beer picks up flavor from whatever was in the barrel first – bourbon, whiskey, rum, etc. But the secret ingredient? Time. With time, the wood absorbs and releases the beer, which interacts with all the compounds and spirit in the oak. The beer is also exposed slowly to oxygen because of the porous wood. All of these factors combine to create amazing barrel-aged brews. #MidwestBarrelCo #BarrelTipTuesday #barrelaged #bourbonbarrelaged #bourbonbarrel #whiskeybarrel
