It's quite subtle. I have done it with French oak in the past. It is an attempt recreate a vintage IPA that would have been barreled for a few weeks.

Have tried both maceration and neuk,
both work very well. Added 50ml of JD,
which I had in the booze cabinet from
years ago, its a very good clone.

No he wasn't.

But I can see how humour had contorted the facts.

Visited our local JTF this afternoon and those oak chunks cost me two camping chairs, 3 bags of compost, a new water butt and a bunch of other stuff I wasn't planning on buying

Got some steeping already which have had one blast in the microwave.

Just to be clear - I don't think Mash was suggesting to nuke it again after re-assemblign the metal catch. Though I have heard that modern microwaves are OK with metal. I would not care to test that theory with hot ethanol in it.

Nuke it.

The kilner jars come apart at the hinge really easy. Hold the lid. Pop one hinge to the center. Lift out - other follows. Pull flat ring off. Catch comes away.

Nuke it.

I nuke with "wire free" lid on.

Nuke it.

Reassemble in reverse.

Nuke it.

Make sure the catch is the right way up.

Nuke it.

Well 100g have been sitting in 1L neutral since this morning. Already a golden hue as developed, and a very JD-like flavour is appearing. Another day or two, I reckon!

Cheers
