Barrel problems....
Well, I filled up the barrel with wine... However, I am a bit
concerned...Yesterday when I got home from work the barrel wasn't leaking any more...It was a little damp around the head but no leaks... So I emptied the water and filled it up with wine... Everything looked good until this morning...The barrel isn't leaking, but it looks like there is some wine seeping through the head at one location and the barrel looks damp on those staves right to the second band. Besides this spot the barrel looks dry...My concern is MOLD! Do you think it will stop seeping? I spray wet spot with a little 10% SO2, good or bad idea? Thanks, Shawn
