hi,
i'm making a barleywine and i'd love to age it for a year in an oak barrel, hopefully used. anyone know where i might be able to find one? i did find 5 gallon oak barrels at my local homebrew supply shop, but it's about $160 and they're un-used. any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks!
 
See if there are any local wineries. There is one in Dallas that sells their used barrels, but Im sure they are all larger than 5 gal.

Good luck.

Five gallon barrels are strictly specialty items. A small wine barrel is 20-30 gallons. Consider a cornie and oak chips. I had the same idea a few years back.
