Hi all. I have got 4 different products sitting on oak at various stages of time. One thing that is really bugging me is i can have the same volume of the same recipe, run off the same batch at the same abv +/- 1%.
I even keep the batches stored in the same spot. I carefully weighout the oak that goes into the jars both before and after charring. Last run when i was blending the cuts i made sure the cuts all went into the one big vessel then i poured it out into its individual oaking jars.
No matter what i do to try and control the process i get one jar that gets dark and changes in flavour quick and the other jar of the same run is light and not quick to change in flavour.
Can anybody tell me how i can fix this please.
