20 Liter Oak Barrel for Aging Wine or Beer

I'm thinking about going with a 5 gallon cask for aging my Black Cherry Mead. It'll only be 2 weeks old tomorrow so I'll keep it in the carboy for at least another 2 weeks. Then I'm thinking I'm going to transfer it into this Gibbs Brothers Cooperage 5 gallon toasted keg. I plan on aging it at least 9-12 months and this is the best price from a cooperage. $138.00 and it's made locally! They will also drill for a wooden faucet if you so desire and you can also choose toasted or charred. If anyone has a thought or opinion on cask aging a mead, please email of comment!RTS Home Accents 5510-001100-5600 50-Gallon Rain Water Collection Barrel With Brass Spigot - Wood Grain
