the homebrew stuff essential spirit aging Kit this spirit aging Kit provides all you need to start creating customized cocktails to impress your Friends, or simply to enjoy yourself. Barrel aging imparts a richer, smoother, more nuanced Flavor to liquor. You don't have to leave it to the experts at the distillery, try it at home. With this Kit, you fill your own glass bottle with your own spirits (like gin, tequila, or bourbon) and place two ounces of Oak pieces inside per one gallon. By doing so, you mimic the process of aging because the liquor absorbs compounds, color, and Flavor from the wood rapidly. And chip work better and faster than barrels because there is more surface area. Check your liquor after 10 days and decide when it has Aged to your liking -- you'll notice appreciable changes in color, aroma, and taste each day. It should be ready to drink in 10 to 30 days depending on your tastes with three types of Oak, a reusable Nylon straining bag, and instruction sheet this Kit makes it very easy to add barrel-aged Flavor to your favorite drinks.
