What can you age in a 5L American white oak barrel?

Almost anything you brew: stouts and sours, red wine, bourbon, even homemade vinegar. American oak tends to give vanilla and caramel notes, and the small size works fast.

• Check the listing to see whether the inside is charred, toasted or untreated.
• Swell the barrel with water before the first fill so the staves seal.
• Keep it topped up between batches so the wood doesn't dry out.
• Your purchase is covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee.

A practical step up from oak chips or spirals.
