I picked up a 10 gallon american oak keg from Barrelsunlimited back in 2013 for a couple hundred bucks. I made a petite syrah port wine in it the first season, now have a cabernet franc from 2014 harvest. We may use it for one more wine season before I retire it and use it for sour beer production.
Open question - Why are these so dang hard to find (and expensive)!? It seems like barrel producers don't want to be bothered with the small barrels, but I know the home-brew community would kill to get their hands on neutral 10 gallon oak barrels.
Someone needs to quit there job and start producing 10-gal oak barrels at an affordable price for home brewers. Volunteers?
