hi,
i'm making a barleywine and i'd love to age it for a year in an oak barrel, hopefully used. anyone know where i might be able to find one? i did find 5 gallon oak barrels at my local homebrew supply shop, but it's about $160 and they're un-used. any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks!

If you're in Brisbane, there is a place in Gumdale (I'll get the name of the road) that has a sign out front saying that they are selling wine barrels. No idea, how big or if they still are (it's a house).

Good luck.

eBay perhaps.

thanks for the replies. i'm in san francisco. i did find a place that sells them online for $122. not too bad i guess. i'll check e-bay as well.

thanks.
