Following the Oak Barrel Care Guide we were able to seal the barrel and fill with wine. Next we will be checking the aging process in these tiny barrels.

In addition to no leaks the water I used to condition the barrel provided promise that aging will be great. I did notice a small amount of sawdust near the stand so I separated the barrel from stand and saw it again. I put the stand in the oven at 185F for an hour and the dust stopped. I am considering a second because the rinse water smelled good enough to drink :)

How do I remove the plastic bung so it's all wood?
Are there any airlock solutions for this size barrel and threaded opening?
Other than lightly unscrewing the plug on top there's no way to allow air in while you open the spout at the bottom. Please keep in mind that once you let air into the barrel your homemade wine will begin to breakdown and spoil. Therefore whenever you take wine from the barrel you'll need to keep refilling more wine to the very top afterwards. This will minimize the air in the barrel and help preserve your precious homemade vino!
Used as an aging barrel post fermentation so no air lock needed. The bung is threaded and comes with a plug.
Where are these barrels manufactured?
