Not sure yet. I'll know more once it's available.

Just thinking about our plans for the barrel in the other thread.

Roughly speaking,
White wine = straight lambic, saison.
Red wine = Flanders red, maybe a darker beer

Yeah, I did see that. So typically, you would want to do a sour if you're using a wine barrel? As you can tell, I haven't researched this much :lol:

Country Malt Group has 53 gallon used Jack Daniel's barrels for $155.

The last batch I bought from Glenora in Mabou (used) were $115.

An alternative to the oak barrel would be either the honey-comb or spiral wood inserts, also available from Country Malt.

:cheers:
Why brew beer I can buy?
