Not planning it any time soon but I'd love to do a Flanders red as soon as I know I'm going to be living in one place for a few years. Anyway, I've seen the oak dowel method for simulating an oak barrel in this forum. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm just wondering about the possible gas build-up here. A carboy bomb would be pretty awful. How is gas vented when you've got a piece of wood shoved down your bung? (teehee) I know there's some micro-diffusion of gasses through the wood but that doesn't seem like enough...
