These barrels are hand crafted In Europe from European grown sessile oak.

Taps are not included with these barrels as there is a risk of oxidation and leaking around the tap.  If you would like to install a tap we do have a selection suitable.

A stand is supplied.

Perfectly suited to fermenting or ageing beer or wine,  and also Spirit maturation.

New barrels will impart a lot of oak flavor and aroma with the first use so be sure to taste regularly. Topping up regularly will also reduce risk of oxidation.

Sour Beer Fermentation: 
We recommend putting a few clean beers through first to reduce the oak flavor. Suited perfectly to Imperial Stouts, Barley wines and other strongly flavoured ales followed by Belgian, British or US style ales.
