we've been running a ful lsized barrel project for about 2 1/2 years now (onto Beer #4)

We had a POinot barrel, and started by putting a clean beer through it, aged for 2 months, to confirm if anything was i nthe barrel and to get it filled while we built up dregs etc.

then we brewed a flanders red, and threw it in for around 12 months or so.

then a porter style beer 8 months, and now a lblonde style beer which has been sitting for around 6 months now.

we found that sulfur sticks weren't great, and a simple hot water rinse and i think douglas used citric acic, for a bit more of a clean.

when its not in use, fill it with water to help keep it moist and it prevents some bugs from getting in there.
