I would be interested, How do you clean it? What would be the advantage
over a glass carboy?

Wine Barrel for sale
 
I clean it using a sulpahte citric solution and store it in water all the
time and keep it topped up. Its Completely air tight. Its made of oak
therefore wines stored in it for a long period of time impart is oaky
characteristic. You could also scorch it if you want to get the toasted
flavour although this has never been done with mine.
