The same barrels are available from a few homebrewing stores, including: http://www.homebrewing.org/Used-5-gallon-whiskey-barrel_p_2187.htmlThe Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-69003433428262613722012-11-06T19:20:34.068-05:002012-11-06T19:20:34.068-05:00What did you pay for the 5gal whiskey barrel from ...What did you pay for the 5gal whiskey barrel from the distiller and who should I talk to there about one?turbobrewernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-1531728497226064602012-11-04T20:23:47.025-05:002012-11-04T20:23:47.025-05:00Should have tested it... fixed now.Should have tested it... fixed now.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-15752070403607946372012-11-04T16:19:11.838-05:002012-11-04T16:19:11.838-05:00Just FYI that your affiliate link is broken.

Up until a few years ago that room warmed into the low 80s during the summer, but a small A/C unit now keeps it from going above 64 F. It still gets a bit cooler in the winter, so probably very similar to your basement overall.<br /><br />The colder a beer is stored, the slower it will change. So for hoppy beers, and anything else that is best fresh, the colder the better. For big beers and sours, some changes with age are positive, so I don’t mind leaving them at a warmer temperature.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-58100121390504097242012-11-02T15:51:35.166-04:002012-11-02T15:51:35.166-04:00I'm sure you've addressed this somewhere b...I'm sure you've addressed this somewhere before, but where and at what approx temp do you age your bottled beers? I have a basement that is consistently between 55-65F, and a fridge, but I don't have room for 50 bottles of a barleywine that I want to age for a year. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
