This ships from Mexico. Shipping cost for the first barrel is $30, each additional barrel is $12.
Barrels are charred to a medium char. They do not contain wax, paint or glue on the inside. They do come varnished on the outside unless you ask. I think the general guidance would be to get these without varnish.

Also Consider:
These come from Balcones Distillery in Texas.
From the distiller:
I'm a long-time home brewer and the head distiller at Balcones Distillery here in Texas . Hope this is cool to do this on the forum, but I wanted to make it known that we a greater than normal quantity of recently dumped 20 liter whiskey barrels available for sale. With this summer being as hot as it's been, I'd hate to see them dry out waiting for homes. These are great barrels for homebrewers not only because of their size, but because they come pretty much sterile and were leak free when they were dumped. Because they're used, you don't have to worry about over-oaking your beer like you would with a new barrel.

Pretty good sales pitch. Take the fact that they're used and thus have surrendered a significant amount of oak flavor and character. Instead of saying that they've just a little bit of life left, say that you "don't need to worry about over oaking your beer."
ReplyDeleteI agree. But if you like the flavor of whiskey dregs...you know, all that stuff the oak is supposed to remove.
