Anyone have a contact for a quantity of bourbon barrels for a serious beer brewer? Have closed large trailer and will haul load. Thinking 30-40 to make it worthwhile.

I can call and let you know what the choices are when I am there and you can pick what you want. I plan to be in Philly area on Thursday and Friday after xmas.....might be staying in King of Prussia. I will be at airport Thursday during day and then I am going to find some microbrews in downtown Philly.
If you're interested Keystone Homebrewing in Montgomeryville has 15 gallon dad's hat rye barrels for 85$I would definitly buy one. The ten gallon volume. I could meet in philly. As long as long as its a wet bourbon barrel i would realy appreciate it. Are you affiliated with finger lakes?
oldbucket said:I will be slightly limited on space. Bringing a minivan with 5 people. Could probably bring 4 barrels....maybe 5. We need space for suitcases, etc...at least going down. Re: barrels to DC...you might want to work a deal with someone in Philly to hold them for you and then drive up there at your convenience. For all interested......The barrels are $91 each. They come wet with a bung in them to keep them from drying. Most have had bourbon in them followed by some type of brandy/liqour. Check their website for types they sell to get an idea. I would call each buyer from the distillery and let you choose what you want from what is available. I would like paypal payment prior to my purchase so I do not get stuck. If I can get a discount, I will refund any savings. No charge for transport. You will just have to make it easy for me to get the barrels to you when I am in Philly.
