Hello,
Have a half gallon micro oak barrel that has been used for several batches of bourbon and, lastly, an imperial stout. That beer was in there 7 months ago. Barrel has been kept hydrated since including top ups.
Just emptied out the resulting brownish, nice smelling water and refilled with very hot water. Plan is to put the barley wine in there next. So...
How to sanitize? StarSan? Cheap vodka? In what order? For how long?
Thanks!
