Howdy, just new to this so I'm not sure of some of the detail. I've had a bit of a look and can't find much information of using apple wood to flavour and age spirit.
I have 6 litres of plum brandy at 40%ABV. Double-distilled through my pot still and quite drinkable as is with a hint of plum flavour. I have some apple wood chips and I want to try putting some down for 12 months or more.
Any suggests on how much to use? Process? I'm guessing bake the chips in the oven for a couple of hours, then char with the blow torch. Wash the chips and then add to the spirit.
I'm happy to split it into 3 lots of 2 litres and trying different methods/quantities.
Thanks
Rolf
