So I have landed a 30 Gallon Barrel that was just dumped today. Unfortunately I did not know I would be recieving this Barrel until today so I do not have a beer ready to go. So it will likely be 6-8 weeks until I can get it filled.
My question:
What's the best way to store this Barrel for that time frame to keep it from getting funky or drying out. Also, I would of course like to keep from stripping the flavor from the barrel.
Any other advice for my first barrel adventure would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
