Hey yo. Fwiw, there's a Lost Trades fair in kyneton in March 2016. Coopers will be there apparently. The barrel-making kind.

 

[Yob]

good to know, maybe if someone gets along, post the details here, Im pretty sure that after my Whisky Barrel has run it's course I'll want to get it coopered and shaved and re charred..

they're always fresher shaved....

I'm keen to do similar with mine too. Finding a cooper could be interesting...

 

[Mardoo]

Definitely coopers in Oz. IIRC there's a good one in Bendigo.

 

[kcurnow]

Well someone has to have constructed all the barrels in the first place. If you do a quick google most of them are located near the main wine regions as that will be their biggest market in OZ.

i did some looking around yesterday after techno's post and found George Smithwick in Beveridge his number is nine745 two 362 he is a 6th Generation Cooper with his Father and Grandad both worked for one of the big breweries in Collingwood. if he was an hour away from me i'd be in like Flynn pestering him for an aprentiship or something. George didn't get into it until his Dad died when George was around 40 years old and from what I read he is worried that no-one will learn the art .. and at least his knowledge will be lost, he's now 60 or so

[Danwood]

Side note- There's a Lost Trades fair in Kyneton in March. There will be Coopers there.

I'm also planning lunch at the Royal George, cos I quite like beer.

 

[technobabble66]

Yo speedy Dan, check post #188. Beat you to it [emoji41][emoji1]

 

[Yob]

Bendigo coopers have indicated they can shave and char for $75.. Pretty good I thought
