Really interesting discussion! I've always found that giving the barrel a thorough clean and ensuring it's properly sealed makes all the difference. What's everyone else's go-to method for prepping barrels for beer?

You’re right! That really is important 😊 And keeping your barrels healthy 😊

I was interested in those barrels, but after a few batches, it looses the barrel flavor. You can't replace the lid. I already contacted the company about that.

While it's true that you can't replace the oak lid, you can add more oak as the wood becomes more neutral. If your oak additions are made carefully, you'll maintain a similar surface-to-volume ratio and continue to get the micro-oxidation effects our barrels are known for. I have a recharge kit on the website if you're interested in more detail.

That is true for all barrels. If you want to keep using the same barrels, you can add in flavors. Very suttle use of oak chips in there, add spirits after your choice, add sirup after your choice etc. The upside here is, that you only have to cover the lid (turned upside down). So you don’t need 6,5 liters of whiskey. Just enough to cover the lid. Let it rest for a couple of weeks and then you’re good to go again 😊
