Can a home brewer use an oak aging barrel for beer?

Yes. A small barrel gives beer oak flavor quickly, so plan on short stays and frequent tasting. Rinse well between batches, or keep the barrel for one style.

• Soak with water until the barrel stops weeping before you rack beer in.
• Top off as liquid evaporates or soaks into the wood.
• Check the description for included accessories such as a tap or stand.
• Covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee if it is not as described.

Its compact size also makes it easy to store between projects.
