I got a new job in a timber yard and we throw out a lot of good scrap timber. I know that oak is very commonly used for aging beer. But I would like to know if anyone has used any other types of timber to flavor their beer. We stock a lot of western red cedar and the smell of it is just amazing. Would I be a good idea to use this in my beer? The other timber products we have are the following. Ash, sapele, dark red meranti, red pine, maple, iroko and black walnut. Please let me know if anyone has used any of these woods? My main interest is western red cedar though because of how strong the smell is. It has a big hint of a nutty smell. Also would it be a good idea to add mixed wood to a brew?
cheers
