My barleywine picked up some great vanilla flavors from the barrel and just a hint of rum in only 7 days. Now for a nice long bulk age out of the barrel.

This will sound stupid, but how do most of you get the wooden stopper out?

Tap it with a hammer on the side of the bung.
 
Thanks of course after posting I googled the board and read the same thing. Figure I should fill it with water or something since the brew thats going in it won't be ready for a week or two...from what I saw so far, it is very nice.
 
My barrel arrived yesterday. It looks and smells awesome!! I can't wait to get something into it. Super fast shipping and it's a quality product. Thanks!
 
Enjoy Kevin. We have some 10 and 15 gallon Rum barrels, some 10 gallon Brandy and we will have more 5 gallon Whiskey tomorrow. Let me know what you want.
Happy 4th,
John
 
So I just got my barrels and they look great....did you guys soak yours before using or are they still tight? I hate to put water in them if it don't need it....plan on brewing Saturday and using barrels as a secondary!
 
Mine sat for 6 months before I could use it. I put a quart of rim in it before hand, though.

The day before I used it, I filled it with a standard starsan mix and drained before I racked.
 
We have Whiskey (5 gallon, $110), Brandy (10 gallon $150) and Rum (10 ($150) and 15 ($175) gallon) barrels available. Pm me with zip and email if you are interested in one.
Cheers,
John

I'd be interested to see pricing on a 5 gallon rum and 10 gallon rum shipped to 29405 commercial address. I wouldn't think shipping would that much different between the two. Thanks!
