Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory – a trusted manufacturer with over two decades of expertise since 1998. Our 50L Oak Barrel with Tempered Glass Sight Glass is meticulously crafted for the craft brewing industry, combining the traditional charm of oak aging with modern visual monitoring. This barrel allows brewers to observe the fermentation and aging process without disturbing the contents, ensuring optimal quality and flavor development. With annual export values exceeding US$5 million and a global presence across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond, we are committed to delivering premium barrels that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship.
The 50-liter capacity is ideal for small-batch craft breweries, homebrewers, and experimental recipes. The barrel is constructed from carefully selected oak wood, which imparts rich, complex flavors to the beer. The integrated tempered glass sight glass provides a clear window into the contents, allowing you to monitor clarity, color, and activity without opening the barrel. This feature reduces the risk of contamination and oxidation, preserving the integrity of your brew.

Benefits for Your Brewing Process: The sight glass eliminates the need to open the barrel for routine checks, saving time and reducing oxygen exposure. This is especially critical for sour beers, wild ales, and barrel-aged stouts where extended aging is required. The oak barrel also contributes subtle vanilla, caramel, and wood notes that enhance the complexity of your beer. Our barrels are made from sustainably sourced wood and are designed for repeated use with proper care.
