Barrel-Aging Roll Call

[jessup]

So do sulfur strips help at all if I want to keep a barrel from souring too soon?

since that's what vintners/wine makers do and they are 100% against brett, i would have to say yes. definitely. can anyone else confirm? while i have 1.5 yrs experience with barrels i'm def no expert on the subject.

it should be proportionate to barrel size and surface area. and your tolerance/taste for oakiness... how long has the barleywine been in there?

I just came into a 50 gallon barrel quite unexpectedly. So now I am trying to come up with an idea of what to do with it.
