This was a great write up thank you.
I've had pretty good luck using charred oak chips but I had wanted to try barrel aging.
I ended up buying a 5 liter (1.32 gallon) barrel off of Amazon. Barrel
This is not a paid endorsement for this particular barrel just wanted to share it. It came with a great set of instructions on how to prepare it for spirits.
I will add that I ordered the barrel from them "unfinished" meaning they didn't shellac it as I didn't want that weeping into my spirits.
Branded barrel
Had I known about the method you linked I probably would have tried that instead of buying one.
I may make one so I can have a side by side comparison. I'm about a month or so into aging. No real game plan on how long I was going to leave it in there either.
Right now it's filled to the brim with 150 proof "Pennsylvania Rye"
