So I prepped my barrel. Took me 2 days of soaking and adding water, topping it off to become tight. Barleywine has been inside for 2 weeks and will transfer tomorrow. How many uses can I maybe think about getting out of this barrel. It is a small, roughly 7 gallon one that a home distiller gave me....
Your question comes up occasionally in this forum, and I recall a very good discussion that probably goes back about a year. Here's a link to a search of thread titles using 'barrel' as the search word. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/search/32697086/?q=barrel&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=8 Hopefully there is a thread there that fits the one that I saw.
