If I wanted brandy barrel flavored beer, I would put brandy soaked oak chips into my fermenting beer at some point. Can brandy barrels contain the pressure fermenting beer produces, and not leak?

Sweetwater here in Atlanta has a whole section of their brewery filled with whiskey barrels full of different beers they brew. It definitely adds a unique flavor.

The owner is always trying new things, seeing what sells well. I told him a restaurant down the road serves a good share of shandys in the summer, so that may be another route to try in his public room.

Central Waters Brewery has been doing bourbon barrel stouts, porters and barleywine for several years now.
Very good stuff I might add. Also seeing bourbon barreled maple syrup lately. Won't be long we'll have bourbon barrel toothpaste.... |

I've put beer into Rum, Bourbon, Rye Whisky, Tequila, and Wine barrels.
After the beer is done fermenting, we cool it down to 33 for a couple of days to drop the yeast.Then into the barrels. We'll pull samples out after 6 months, when we like what we are getting we take it out of the barrels. Depending on how wet the barrel is, usually adds about 4-4.5% to the ABV. |

Tons of breweries have been aging imperial stouts in brandy barrels and apple brandy barrels for years now.
Beware though- apple brandy barrel aged beer has been some of my least favorite barrel-aged beers. |
