So I finally got myself a small oak-barrel for aging. just 2 gallon-barrel. My question is - how do you rack of an oak barrel? Since I cant see the lees? Do you bottle straight from the barrel or do I have to rack to a demi-john, and let it clear again?

(I made some ice-cider, had it clearing in demijohns for 3-4 months, then racked to barrel... perhaps I did it the wrong way around..?)
