vaporraper Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 So I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with steeping juice in an oak barrel and might have some tips.. I put a 50 bottle batch in one last Sunday and it already seems to be doing wonders! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gag8tor Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Tried a juice by a company called Barrel Craft and it was steeped in bourbon barrels I believe. Very tasty. The flavor I had was NOLA Brulee and was quite tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFD Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Check out a site called innevape. Com they make a flavor called vape my day and the premium version of the flavor is aged in oak barrels for 90 days and people go crazy for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnoh Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I was working in the lab late one night ....... Ok, so I'm making Comp's recipe (sorta) using pipe tobacco and PG/VG in a mason jar. Shaking it twice a day for three months. Because Malaysia is a majority Muslim country, there don't seem to be many liquor barrels about, so I think I'll get myself over to Ace Hardware and buy some of that "all natural" oak barbeque chips and slip a couple in my experiment. Maybe that'll achieve the same result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not sure it will be the same. Barrels are usually charred and then have the bourbon/whiskey in it for a year or more. This allows the bourbon/whiskey to soak into the charred surface taking on the flavor. jonnoh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
