I'm looking for a -reasonably- priced French oak barrel
in the next couple of weeks. I've temporarily inserted
oak cubes into my carboy to get things started so I
won't be too late in getting the oak added, but I'd
really like to age my wine in a French oak barrel. My
batch is 23L. Any good sources of unwaxed barrels? I
sent a question to the barrel maker mentioned in the
first article mentioning my concerns about using a
waxed barrel. Why in the world would they make such
a thing? (For show only, I suppose?)
