Maple Bourbon Barrel Oak Chips - 4 oz.

Making Hot Sauce

I am not brewing beer. I thought I ordered ground red wine barrel. After researching hot sauce making, I found out that Tobasco is aged in used red wine barrels. Given I am not making gallons of hot sauce, I thought I would put ground barrel in my pepper sauce and let it ferment. What I received was ground maple bourbon barrel. I did not discover this until I opened the package to add to the peppers. The smell is wonderful, but not sure if maple pepper will be a good sauce. Greg M.
