Hey all,
This may be a stupid question, but I will ask it any how. If I were to use a charred oak barrel, can I fill it in stages? I can get 19ltr new charred oak barrels and approximately 150ltr used wet bourbon barrels for aging. Only thing is I can't fill either in one run. Would it do the spirit harm to add 5ltrs at a time? Any help would be welcomed as I am questioning if I should try it or just keep adding the wood to the spirits.
