Could you provide a quote on shipping 2 5-gallon whiskey barrels to 03032? Do you have any larger sizes?
 
How long are you guys letting your brews set in these barrels? I have a oatmeal stout in a primary I'm planing on putting in a whiskey barrel and a coco choco porter I'm gonna put in my rum barrel...I want a bold flavor and have 5 gallons of each that won't go in a barrel so I can blend if it gets too strong. Thanks in advance for any replies!
 
Monitor the first beer, it will take on Rum quick. I had mine in for about 3 weeks and it sucked up a ton of Rum so monitor it. My RIS has been in for about 3 months and the Rum is very subtle but the wood/tannins are really coming through.

I will send an estimate soon.
 
Around 3 then you can take it sour or just age big beers in it to get the oxidation and you can add oak spirals to get the flavor. Shipping is $19
 
Hypothetically speaking, could you use to age whiskey in again with good results? How long would you be able to leave it in there for? How much for a barrel plus shipping to 14482?
 
If you are interested in a 10 gallon Whiskey barrel please pm me. They are $150+shipping, please leave your zip code when you pm.

Another props for these amazing barrels. Just racked my second beer from it after 6 weeks -- a 12.5% barley wine that was similar to Angel's Share (Port Brewing) and it is divine. Rummy, boozy, oaky. Incredible. Now to brew the same beer again and let it age for 6 months to a year...

For people wondering about times, so far I did the first beer six days, second beer 6 weeks and planning on third beer 6 months...

I'm loving the 6-6-6 rule :)
