1. An alcohol aging assembly for rapidly aging alcohol, said assembly comprising:
an aging container being configured to contain alcohol;
a cylinder being comprised of copper wherein said cylinder is configured to be submerged in the alcohol without imparting an unpleasant flavor to the alcohol, said cylinder being insertable into said aging container;
a plurality of dowels, each of said dowels being disposed within said cylinder wherein each of said dowels is configured to be submerged in the alcohol when said cylinder is submerged in the alcohol, each of said dowels being comprised of oak wherein each of said dowels is configured to facilitate a chemical process to enhance the flavor and color of the alcohol; and
a light emitter being disposed inside of said cylinder wherein said light emitter is configured to emit light into the alcohol when said cylinder is submerged into the alcohol, said light emitter emitting light in the ultra-violet spectrum wherein said light emitter is configured to increase the rate of chemical reaction between the alcohol and said dowels thereby speeding up the process of aging the alcohol;
wherein:
said cylinder has a top end, a bottom end and an outer wall extending between said top end and said bottom end of said cylinder, said outer wall having a cut extending between said top end and said bottom end of said cylinder, said outer wall having a hinge extending between said top end and said bottom end of said cylinder to define a first half of said cylinder being hingedly coupled to a second half of said cylinder, said hinge being positioned on an opposite side of said outer wall with respect to said cut;
said outer wall has a first lip extending outwardly from said outer wall, said first lip being coextensive with said cut;
said outer wall has a second lip extending outwardly from said outer wall, said second lip being coextensive with said cut, said first lip abutting said second lip when said cylinder is positioned in a closed position, said first lip being displaced from said second lip when said cylinder is positioned in an open position;
said cylinder has a diameter being less than a diameter of said aging container, said cylinder having a height being less than a height of said aging container; and
said bottom end of said cylinder has a pair of tabs each extending downwardly from said bottom end of said cylinder, said tabs being positioned on opposite sides of said outer wall of said cylinder;
an aerator being disposed on said cylinder wherein said aerator is configured to be submerged in the alcohol, said aerator being pivotally coupled to each of said tabs extending downwardly from said bottom end of said cylinder; and
a fluid pump being configured to be submerged in the alcohol, said fluid pump having an inlet and an output wherein said fluid pump is configured to urge the alcohol inwardly through said inlet and outwardly through said output when said fluid pump is turned on to circulate the alcohol.
