Used Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Staves – $4.19 + free ship eligible

Sliced Bourbon Barrel Staves 2 ct.

Used Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Staves via Adventures in Homebrewing.

Used whiskey barrels are popular… really popular.  5 and 10 gallon barrels usually sell out quickly when they become available.  They are also typically relatively expensive.  These used staves are a great way to get some of the barrel experience without the cost and space required for a barrel.

from AIH…”These sliced staves do vary in size. They are anywhere from 1/2”- 1″ wide, 1/8″-1/4″ thick and 8-13″ in length. Please keep this in mind when purchasing. Many commercial chips have allowed moisture (bourbon) to dry up. This is not the case with these sliced staves. These staves have been processed from authentic Kentucky bourbon barrels.”

MoreWine Barrel Washer – $169.99, Save $30 + free shipping, limited availability

MoreWine!® Barrel Washer WE492

MoreWine!® Barrel Washer from MoreBeer

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Our new barrel washer is a back saver. We’ve done the He-Man thing and lifted barrels all over the place. As a result we’ve also been laid up in bed with a screaming lower back.

Designed to be used with standard hose pressure. Not intended for use with pressure washers.

After using designs that require you to lift barrels onto them we knew there had to be a better way. We designed our own simple washer that is inexpensive and flexible. This is one of the benefits of having a test winery and a fabrication shop!

With this design you can wash barrels via two methods.

Method 1: Wash barrels while they are on the rack. Spin them when they are empty and insert this wand through the bung hole.
Method 2: If you move barrels not on racks, roll the barrel till the bung hole is parallel to the ground and insert the spray wand. Continue to rotate the barrel, with wand inside, till you cannot go any further. The bung hole will now be pointed almost directly down. To keep the barrel from rolling place a chalk block (any block will work) on the other side to keep the barrel in place. The photo shows the angle the washer would be at if used in method 2. Because the bung hole in the barrel is not facing directly down all you need to do when you pull the washer out is to rotate the barrel down for 2 seconds and the small remaining amount of water(less than a pint) will drain out. This is a great method to avoid lifting barrels and to be able to clean them by yourself.

Product Features:
Stainless Steel
3/4″ MPT(male pipe thread) inlet. In order to connect to your garden hose you will need an adapater from 3/4″ MPT to brass hose.
Spinning spray head included

MoreFlavor!® Gas Transfer Tool for Barrels – $183.99, Save $46 + Used Barrels are In Stock

MoreFlavor!® Gas Transfer Tool R657

Barrel Transfer Tool from MoreBeer


From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Simply the best, safest way to transfer your barrel aged beer! Pushing your beer out of the barrel with inert gas like CO2 eliminates the possible points of oxidation or infection that could come from using a pump.

After using similar tools available on the market, we took what we liked and disliked and made our own. Obviously we’re proud of the price, but perhaps more impressive are the polished finish and the excellent quality welds.

Many brewers like to use this with an attached sight gauge. We found that it’s much easier to clean the tool when the sight gauge is detachable, so we offer it as an accessory instead of having it welded onto the wand (sight-gauge H664, clamp H652, gasket h656).

Quality Features

  • Stainless lock down mechanism to adjust height
  • Polished stainless tube
  • Compression Silicone Bung to form airtight seal with barrel
  • Adjustable lees pin
  • Made from 304 stainless steel

Specifications

  • 1.5″ Tri-Clover Outlet
  • 1/4″ Stainless Steel Ball Valve with FPT inlet for inert gas
  • 31″ height from lees pin to pictured stopper

  • MoreBeer has this on sale for $183.99.  That’s a $46 savings.
  • Get Free Shipping: Shipping is also free to most US addresses with a qualifying $59 order.

Wood, Whiskey and Wine: A History of Barrels

Wood, Whiskey and Wine: A History of Barrels

More Info

From the book description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Barrels―we rarely acknowledge their importance, but without them we would be missing out on some of the world’s finest beverages―most notably whiskies and wines―and of course for over two thousand years they’ve been used to store, transport, and age an incredibly diverse array of provisions around the globe. In this comprehensive and wide-ranging book, Henry Work tells the intriguing story of the significant and ever-evolving role wooden barrels have played during the last two millennia, revealing how the history of the barrel parallels that of technology at large.

Exploring how barrels adapted to the requirements of the world’s changing economy, Work journeys back to the barrel’s initial development, describing how the Celtic tribes of Northern Europe first crafted them in the first millennia BCE. He shows how barrels became intrinsically linked to the use of wood and ships and grew into a vital and flexible component of the shipping industry, used to transport not only wine and beer, but also nails, explosives, and even Tabasco sauce. Going beyond the shipping of goods, Work discusses the many uses of this cylindrical container and its relations―including its smaller cousin, the keg―and examines the process of aging different types of alcohol. He also looks at how barrels have survived under threat from today’s plastics, cardboards, and metals.

Offering a new way of thinking about one of the most enduring and successful products in history, Wood, Whiskey and Wine will be a must-read for everyone from technology buffs to beverage aficionados who wish to better understand that evasive depth of flavor.
