2015 Whisky Barrels -

[Grainer]

good work.. now just to get more barrels

 

[Reman]

Looking for barrels I found this place http://www.barrelsandkegs.com.au

Might be happy to do a discount for a bulk order of 25 X 20L barrels?

 

[Yob]

Problem is they haven't had whisky in them, I'll pass and be happy to wait for the real deal.

Cheers

You can't think of a solution for that?!? ... [emoji6]

yes.. have them age whisky for 5 years in them...

oh wait...

 

[Mardoo]

Yeah, but you'd draw off a keg every month or so It would get expensive quickly.

I wonder if you could speed up the process by filling it and having it sit at, say, 5 psi. The idea being the mild pressure forces the scotch into the barrel wood more quickly. A bit like pump brine-ing a ham - a quick pump + 24hrs sitting in brine, rather than 2 slow weeks passively sitting in brine (I think). Surely a barrel is the same as a leg of pork...

Admittedly the result is 2nd rate compared to "proper" salted ham. But it might still provide a suitable result for the barrel scenario. Say, 6-12 months of barrel aging, instead of 5 years. Fwiw, double oaked whiskey is da bomb.

That's the beauty of a 20L barrel! All fits into 1 keg when you're ready to drain the barrel.

I seriously doubt they're pressure rated, it'd be an expensive fill, a full whisky barrel goes for thousands depending on the Distillery,

Even to just buy in bulk and fill would be pretty expensive.

We were getting the 100 ones wet for near the price of those linked above brand new.

Do we have to wait until we get 8?

 

[Yob]

Yes, shipping is best split between the 8 barrels
