I'll be driving up to the Lexington/Lousiville area doing the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with some buddies at the end of March. Anybody have any suggestions on where I could pick up a 15-30 gallon used bourbon barrel?

I'm currently brewing up the 11-11-11 Gun Stock Old Ale. Wyeast Old Ale Blend wasn't available, so I ad-libed and picked up some Ringwood Ale and some Brett L. I made a decent starter of each, so there is plenty to go around. I'm planning on splitting the bach, and doing 100% Ringwood in...

Help me diagnose my issue: I received a 2nd hand kegerator (tower, tap, and all) but the fridge doesn't exactly work. That's not my problem, I can work with that. However, I pulled all the business parts for the tap out and took it to a picnic. The keg was in a trashcan of ice, the tower...

I'm converting the closet under my stairs into a cellar. Approximately 75 to 100 cubic feet. It shares an outside wall, partially underground. I'd like to cool it down. I'm looking for something that wouldn't take up too much space and if possible I'd like to keep it under $300. Any ideas?
