Barrel for Aging

[durandf]

Hi All,
I am aging a Barley Wine and want to age it for 4 months in a Oak Barrel. Does anyone know where I can get one. Also, should I get a used or new one. Thanks

Unless you can get some friends together to fill a 53gal bourbon barrel, stick with oak cubes in the carboy.

Thanks. I got a great 5 Gallon Raosted Oak Barrel. Now, does anyone have a good reference on the best way to age beer in an Oak Barrel ? Thanks.
