Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is the 500L capacity accurate, or is it the maximum fill level?
A: The 500L is the total internal volume. We recommend filling to 80-90% of capacity to allow headspace for foam and CO2, especially during active fermentation. -
Q: What type of oak is used? Is it American or French?
A: The standard barrels are made from American white oak. French oak is available as a special order — please contact us for custom requests. -
Q: Is the tempered glass panel removable? Can I replace it if broken?
A: The glass panel is fixed with a silicone gasket and metal frame. It is not designed to be user-removable, but we can supply replacement panels if needed. The glass is highly durable under normal use. -
Q: Does the stainless steel spigot come with a hose adapter?
A: The spigot has a standard 1/2" NPT male thread. A hose barb adapter can be included upon request at no extra cost. -
Q: Can this barrel be used for both wine and beer?
A: Yes, it is suitable for fermenting wine, beer, cider, mead, and even spirits. However, for beer, note that oak can add flavor, so it's best for styles like barrel-aged ales or sour beers. -
Q: How should I clean the barrel after use?
A: Rinse with warm water immediately after use. For deep cleaning, use a mild brewery cleaner (like PBW) and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive scrubbers on the glass. Sanitize with a no-rinse sanitizer before next use. -
Q: Do you offer other sizes? What is the minimum order quantity?
A: Yes, we also produce 100L, 200L, 300L, and 1000L versions. Minimum order quantity is 1 piece for sample orders, and 10 pieces for bulk orders. Contact us for volume discounts. -
Q: Is the barrel delivered with an airlock or bung?
A: The barrel includes a rubber bung (size #13) but does not include an airlock. You can purchase a standard 3-piece airlock separately. We can also supply them upon request.
