This project was designed to evaluate the effects of future Brandy aging warehouse modifications that are being considered by the E&J Gallo winery. Brandy volatile organic compound emissions experienced during aging will have to be reduced and controlled. One stack of brandy barrels was enclosed, held under a vacuum, and outfitted with temperature and pressure data logging equipment. This information was gathered and analyzed and will help determine if the aging warehouse modifications will affect the brandy adversely.
